Knabe Grands in Demand
Evidences of a revival of prosperity in
the piano trade are found at every turn.
Even at the Knabe warerooms, where visit-
ors are always plentiful, the indications of
a commercial pulse quickening are plainly
manifest—so much so, that it is difficult
for The Review to find Mr. Mayer unoccu-
pied. On the last three or four occasions,
that gentleman has been found actively en-
gaged in illustrating the special merits of
the Knabe grands to prospective pur-
chasers. To all appearances, his efforts
were not in vain.
Regina Co. Allege Infringement.
An interesting case which Judge Town-
send of the United States court has under
advisement is that of the Regina Music
Box Co. of Rahway, N. J., against Paillard
& Co., the celebrated music box manufac-
turers.
The Swiss makers for many years prac-
tically had a monopoly of the manufacture
and sale of these goods and it was not un-
til the American invention was placed on
the market that they experienced any op-
position.
The Regina box is now familiar to every-
body. The old Swiss box consisted of
what is known as the metal comb and a
cylfnder containing pins which by their
arrangement played the tune, by dragging
over and then snapping the teeth of the
comb. The placing of the pins in the cy-
linder was an expensive and slow opera-
tion.
The new box contains a comb, but in
front the teeth are located on a shaft in a
series of toothed wheels, so arranged that
one of the wheels is opposite each tooth of
the comb. By revolving the wheel the
teeth of the wheel engages the tooth on the
comb and snaps it, thus producing the
tune.
A soft metal dial containing perforations
is revolved over and parallel to the plane
of the comb. When a perforation passes
over the tooth wheel it engages it and the
wheel engages the particular tooth of the
comb desired. By a simple system the
notes of a tune are laid on a diagram cor-
responding to the disc and the perfora-
tions are cut on a machine.
Thus by simply changing the disc any
