Patent GB-191107430-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Maintaining the Tune-sheet Apertures in Register with the Tracker-ducts of Player Pianos.
Inventor: BULL FRANK WESLEY
Filed: 1911-03-24
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 7430. Bull, F. W. March 24. Tracker-bars; winding-mechanism.-Relates to a device for automatically adjusting the trackerbar in order to maintain the tracker-ducts in register with the tune-sheet apertures. The tracker-bar is provided with two additional ducts A<9>, A<10>, one at each end, and a number of ducts A<6> arranged parallel to, but in staggered relation with, the usual ducts A<5>. Assuming that the tune-sheet moves to the right so that the duct A<9> is uncovered, air is admitted through a tube L<4> to a chamber L<2>, so operating a valve F<4> which connects a bellows F<1> to exhaust. The bellows F<1> collapses and operates a slide-valve J, causing the port J<7> to register with a duct G<3>. A connexion is thus made from the trackerducts A<6> through the tube I, port J<7>, duct G<3>, and tube C<12> to a chamber C<5>. As the ducts A<6> are open to atmosphere owing to the tune-sheet having moved laterally, the valve D<10> is operated and the bellows E' is connected to the exhaustchest D<1> and therefore collapses. The motion is transmitted through the link M to the bellows E, which therefore expands, and also through the link N<2> and pivoted lever N, to a rod A<2> attached to the sliding tracker-bar A'. The tracker-bar is thus moved until its ducts again register with the tune-sheet apertures. If the tune-sheet moves to the left so that the trackerduct A'‹ is opened, the pneumatic E causes the tracker-bar to move in the opposite direction.

Title: Improvements relating to the Production of Photographs on Metal Surfaces.
Inventor: JACOBS MICHAEL
IPC: G03C11/12
Filed: 1911-08-22
Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 9511. Jacobs, M. Aug. 22. Ornamental photographs. - In a process for producing a pellicle film bearing an image on aluminium or other metal surface, a bromide print is made on a paper in which the sensitized layer is contained in a film of hardened gelatine, which is separated from the paper base by a layer of soluble gelatine. The print is fixed and washed and then floated into position on the surface under water and squeegeed into contact therewith. The print is kept under pressure for some time and is immersed in water at a temperature of about 100‹ F.; the paper back can then be stripped, leaving the hardened pellicle image film on the metal. The print is next laved with hot water to remove any soft gelatine remaining, and may be varnished or shellaced. The metal surface or the photograph may be further ornamented with letters or with other matter. Specifications 906/78, 1436/81, and 3822/06 are referred to.
