We Are
But We Stand

E do not claim to be the largest makers of player actions to-day. Nor are
we a small concern. Recently we shipped our 55,000th action.
To-day we are making three times the quantity of actions we made a
. year ago. In January alone we were forced to refuse orders in excess of our total
shipments for January of last year.

Our claim to serious consideration by every player manufacturer is this:
No action on the market at the price of the Simplex can approach it in Quality.
Why? Because the Simplex contains more exclusive new basic inventions than any other actions.
Every one of these inventions represents the true solution of a vital player problem. Furthermore
this solution is always the simplest one possible.
And because these exclusive inventions are co-ordinated into a perfect harmonious whole. An
action which pleases the final purchaser with its ease of playing; its sensitiveness; its freedom from
repair trouble.

The Simplex Unit Pneumatic. It is instantly removable or interchangeable. In case of any
unforeseen trouble which the ordinary tuner cannot reach (such as dust under the valve, etc.) all
that is necessary is to unscrew the old pneumatic and screw on a new one.

Not the Largest
Alone in Quality
The Simplex Four-piece Valve. Never sticks, Never binds, Never needs adjustment or repair.
Minimum of parts—some player valves have as many as 19 pieces.
The Simplex Trapezoid Tracker Bar. Corrects tracking trouble by supplying greater area of
bar opening.
The Simplex Unit Bellow Set. Put in with great saving of time. Assembled, inspected and
tempo governor adjusted before it leaves us. Needs no further attention than the simple installation.
The Simplex Tempo Governor—our own special invention—not only controls tempo perfectly,
but stays in adjustment.
The Simplex Pumper Pedals fold in between the feeders, thus permitting a smaller, neater, bot-
tom panel.
Let us demonstrate these Simplex advantages to you—thereby showing you why the Simplex is
called the "best buy" in the action field today.
We want both manufacturer and dealer to know what the Simplex Action really is and does.
This knowledge concerns both. Therefore we ask you to get in touch with us. Let us send you full
information about the 1916 Simplex Action. Write today—tomorrow never comes.
