Title: Improvements in and relating to an Electrically-operated Playing Apparatus for Musical Instruments and Music Sheets therefor.
Inventor: CLARK D ARCY MELVILLE
Filed: 1910-07-12
Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 16,620. Clark, D'A. M., [Telectric Co.]. July 12. Actions; expression, controlling; tune-sheets. -An electro-magnetic player for pianos &c. of the kind described in Specification 17,617/01, is provided with manually or automatically controlled means for accenting or softening a note or notes. A tune-sheet having accentuating- apertures and note-apertures arranged in a special manner, is used for effecting the automatic control. Hand-operated switches are provided for softening either the treble or the bass notes, or both. A motor-generator having brushes 11, 12, 13, and 14 at different potentials, is preferably employed as a source of current, the generator being provided with a shunt and two series windings. The note-operating electro - magnets 5 are connected in parallel in two groups which are controlled by switches 46, 47. By shifting one of these switches from the contact 49 to a contact 48 the corresponding group can be connected to the brush 13 of the generator, so reducing the voltage and softening all the notes in the bass or treble. An adjustable resistance 4 is provided in the circuit of each electro-magnet, and the perforated tune-sheet passes between the contact fingers 3 and the tracker-bar 2. Additional contact-fingers 37, 38 control electro-magnetic switches 18, 19 for accentuating or softening a note or notes. The current normally passes from the brush 14 by the wire 31, contacts 24, 21, 22, and wire 23 to the tracker-bar 2, and thence through the electro-magnets 5 and wires 6, 7, switches 46, 47, wire 35, contacts 28, 27, 29, and wire 33 to the brush 11. When, however, the switch 18 is energized, the armature 20 is attracted, so disconnecting the contacts 24, 22 and connecting the contacts 25, 22. The brush 12 of the generator is thus put in circuit, so that the electro-magnets 5 are operated by current at a higher voltage. Similarly, when the contact-finger 38 completes the circuit of the switch 19, the brush 13 is put in circuit and the voltage of the current is reduced. Manually-controlled switches 51, 50 may be used to control the switches 18, 19. As shown in Fig. 3, a perforation 41 for an accentuated note is slightly behind the perforations 40 for notes of normal loudness, and the perforation 44 for controlling the switch 18. A perforation 42 for a softened or subdued note is slightly in advance of the perforations 40 and behind the perforation 45 for controlling the switch 19. If the contact fingers 37, 38 are not in line with the contact fingers 3, or it is desired to strike an accentuated or softened note before or after normal notes, the relative positions of the perforations may be varied.
