IMPROVEMENTS ON MUSICAL KEYED INSTRUMENTS OF TWELVE FIXED TONES
Year: 1808

page_text: HAWKES' SPECIFICATION.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM
HAWKES, of Newport, in the County of Salop, Esquire, do send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, bearing date at Westminster, the Twenty-fifth day of July,
the forty-eighth year of His reign, did give and grant unto me, the said
William Hawkes, my executors, administrators, and assigns, His special licence,
full power, sole privilege and authority, that I, the said William Hawkes, my
executors, administrators, and assigns, during the term of years therein ex-

"IMPROVEMENTS ON MUSICAL KEYED INSTRUMENTS OF TWELVE FIXED TONES;" in
which said, Letters Patent there is contained a proviso, obliging me, the said

performed, to be inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery within one
calendar month next and immediately after the date of the said in part recited
Letters Patent, as in and by the same, relation being thereunto had, may
more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso in the said
Letters Patent contained, I, the said William Hawkes, do hereby declare that
my said improvements on musical keyed instruments of twelve fixed tones are
described as follows, that is to say :-

page_text: The improvement in the organ is effected by a pedal under the key board,
and an extra slide to every stop in the sound board, to correspond with the
general slide; the above extra slide has a communication from the sound board
to the extra pipes, namely, sharps and flats, which, by depressing the pedal
with the foot, brings on the sharp scale, and by elevating the pedal brings on
the flat scale, and as the flats go off the sharps are brought on, and inversely
as the sharps go off, the flats are brought on by the action of the pedal, com-
municated to the additional slide with double holes adapted to the additional
pipes, namely, five pipes to each octave.
My improvement in the pianoforte is effected by adding seven diatonic and
five flat tones to our present scale of twelve fixed tones, which form two
chromatic scales, the one termed a flat scale and the other a sharp scale, and is
done by two sets of strings of two unisons to each set, which are acted upon
without the addition of a key to the key board by a pedal, by which the key
board is made to move forward and backward about one-fourth of an inch,
the same hammers striking each set of strings both in the flat and sharp scale,
by depressing the pedal with the foot when the sharp scale is wanted, and
elevating the pedal when the flat scale is wanted.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Ninth day
of August, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and
