new MOTOR TO RUN
PHONOCRAPH INVENTED
Eliminates Noise, 0yercomes
Various Other Difficulties.

A new photograph motor has been
invented which overcomes the diff
culties which have been encountered
in using electricity as a motive
power for this purpose. The de-
vising OF a satisfactory electric mo-
tor for this purpose Is by no means
easy. In the first place, there 10
tho question OF the elimination of
noise. Placed above the bell or
sounding apparatus OF the pnono-
graph. any tendency of the motor
to vibrate is Immediately amplihed,
thus tending to interfere with the
music. Then there 10 the necessity
of having a type of motor which
will gain the requisite speed In the
shortest possible space of time, and
which will keep that speed as near
ly constant as possible under the
varying conditions of load caused BY
the changing depth of the lines on
the record from which the music
Ia reproduced.
These difficulties have been over
come by motor developed At the
Fort Wayne Works OF the General
Electric Company. 1t 10 . small
Induction motor, somewhat SIMILAR to
those used as the motive power Of

proper design Of the supporting
brackets and spider" as well as
the elimination of vibration in the
motorboard itself. BY suspending
the motor from the board by three
screws to the supper bracket the
screws being surrounded by sponge
rubber bushings and washers. trans
mission of vibration to the board
was made impossible
1t was also found that an alum
mum spider for the motor was
very much quieter than one Of cast
iron. The regulation Of the speed
has been SO arranged as to be very
close under widely varying loads.
The mechanism Is so arranged that
IL the photograph Is moved to q
summer camp or elsewhere where no
electric current is Available, II can
be removed easily and the spring

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS
MUST REMEMBER BANQUET

Sunday school workers are asked to
keep in mind the Sunday school
luncheon and conference of workers
to be held at the First Baptist church
Saturday, March 18th. Remember this
is for all schools of all denominations.
There are over forty Sunday schools
in Maysville and Mason county. With
the pastor, superintendent and lead
ing worker from each school present
there will be an array of Christian
workers that should surely be able to
plan something big for our city and
county. Many Of the smaller schools
in the county are not in session dur
ing the winter months. Let not this
keep their representatives from at
tending this meeting. The Mason
County Sunday School Association is
very desirious of getting in vital touch
with every school, and with every
community where there should be a
school. If you are one invited don't
fail to accept and be present.
