be adjusted to a point where the downward
pressure is two to two and one-half ounces.
This reduction in needle pressure will
greatly extend the life of both needle and
record.
Caution~After an additional counter
weight has been added to the pick-up arm,
the tripping or cut-off mechanism should
be carefully observed during its operation
to be sure the cut-off mechanism properly
actuates. It may be necessary to clean and
otherwise free the tripping parts until
they operate freely. The pick-up arm sup-
porting bearings should be cleaned and
oiled so that the arm will move across the
record freely.
Needles~ln the event that excessively
worn records or records made from more
abrasive materials are used, it is suggested
that the Permo elliptical type needle be re-
versed at more frequent intervals than
normal in order to more nearly equalize
excessive wear.
Important-There has been no change
whatsoever in the quality or quantity of
the precious metal tip, other material or
workmanship in the manufacture of Permo
Point Needles. Therefore, under like con-
ditions the same high standard satisfac-
tory performance should be realized there-
from as in this past.
Any substitute of a more abrasive mao
terial in the manufacture of records will
unavoidably shorten the life of any needle
and also the record. Therefore, if excessive
wear to either the needles or records
should be experienced, corrective measures,
such as suggested above, should be em-
ployed.

E. C. Steffens of Permo Products Corp"
offers the following sug,g estions to op-
erators:
Magnetic Pick-Ups~Examine the needle
holder rubber bushings and damping pads
for stiffness. If they have become old and
dry, they should be replaced. The armature
should also be carefully centered between
the pole pieces. The manufacturer should
supply these parts or should service the
pick-up at a nominal cost.
Crystal Pick·Ups~Crystal pick-ups that
have been in service for more than a year
should be carefully examined for needle
compliance. In other words, when the
needle is tightly secured in the holder, it
should move freely a few thousands of an
inch in either direction. Since crystal cart-
ridges must be factory serviced, it is sug-
gested that defective or faulty pick-ups be
returned to the manufacturer for repairs
or replacement.
Needle Pressur~Manufacturers several
years ago utilized needle pressure as high
as four to five ounces, however, this pres·
sure has been reduced in more recent in-
struments. With the ·phonograph at rest,
