AUTOMATIC PHONOGRAPH CO.
Articles of incorporation have been filed for the
Capehart Automatic Phonograph Company, which
will be established in Huntington, Ind., and which
will manufacture a phonograph that will play 62
records, reverse them and play the other sides, all
automatically, it was announced this week. The in-
corporators of the company are Homer E. Capehart
of Indianapolis, Winfred Runyan and J. W. Caswell.
Common stock to the amount of $50,000 will be
issued. There will be no preferred stock.
Temporarily, the headquarters of the company will
be in the plant of the Caswell-Runyan Company,
Huntington, where the cabinets for the machines will
be manufactured, and the employes of the Capehart
company will build the machines there.
Preparations for the manufacture of the machines
are now being made, and it is expected that produc-
tion will be begun about March 15, it was said.
The machine, all of whose functions are automatic,
is the invention of T. A. Small of Cleveland, O., and
the right to manufacture the machine is held exclu-
sively by the Huntington company. Mr. Small, at
least temporarily, will act as chief engineer, and will
supervise the installation of equipment for the com-
pany.
Exact descriptions of the machine are not at present
obtainable, but the cabinet is said to be quite large.
It will contain and play any number of records from
28 to 62. The person using the machine can play
single records by hand, just as is done with the ordi-
nary phonograph; he can select a number of records
of his preference, which the machine will play auto-
matically; or it will play the entire 68 records, turn
them over and play the other sides, all automatically.
The machine is operated electrically throughout,
and it is possible for such an instrument to be placed
in one part of a house and, through a telephonic
