THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
[Compiled especially for The Review.]
Washington, D. C., Dec. 19, 1898.
Mechanism for Driving Music Rolls and
Self-playing Instruments.
Fred. W.
Hedgeland, Chicago, assignor to the W. W.
Kimball Co., same place.
Patent No.
615,850.
This invention relates to the mechanism
employed for driving the music rolls of
self-playing instruments, and is an im-
provement upon the construction of such
mechanism shown in Mr. Hedgeland's ap-
plication, Serial No. 663,449, filed Decem-
ber 27, 1897. In said application he
shows the wind-motor and the music-sheet-
carrying rolls in combination with mechan-
ism for carrying power from the former to
the latter, such mechanism embracing
speed-governing devices acting to regulate
the speed of music-sheet and being them-
selves controlled by a stop or similar device.
The principal endeavor in the present in-
vention has been to make the speed-govern-
ing devices of th& former invention capable
of being reversed as to the direction of the
movement which they impart, so they may
be used both for driving the take-up roll
during the playing and for driving the
music-roll in rewinding without employ-
ing any clutching devices whatever and
T
HE
without making the motor itself reversible.
Operating Mechanism for Music Boxes.
Louis P. Valiquet, Hoboken, N. J. Patent
No. 615,765.
This invention relates to operating mech-
anism for music-boxes and other spring-
controlled mechanism, and particularly to
that class of music-boxes wherein rotary
tune or note sheets, plates, or disks are
used to actuate the vibrating tongues or
combs, and also to driving or operating
mechanism therefor and coin-actuated de-
vices used in connection therewith, and has
for its object the provision of an organiza-
tion comparatively simple in construction,
inexpensive to manufacture, and which
operates in a smooth, steady, and certain
manner in practical use.
Winding-up Mechanism for Automatic
playing devices for musical instruments.
Melville Clark, Chicago, 111. Patent No.
616,077.
The purpose of this invention is to pro-
vide improved devices for winding up
the motors which operate the perforated
music-sheet or equivalent device in auto-
matic playing attachments for musical in-
struments, particularly reed-organs or
others having bellows operated by pedals.
It consists of mechanism connecting the
winding-up devices with the bellows-oper-
ating" mechanism.
Securing Apparatus for use in piano con-
struction. S. N. Swan, Chicago, 111.
Patent No. 616,430.
This invention relates to an apparatus
designed for use in connection with piano
construction. The object is to provide
GRAPHOPHONE.
means for holding and securing in position,
while jointing, certain parts of the frame-
work of a piano, including the end pieces,
sides, and top, and for compressing these
parts to and upon the sounding-board
frame.
Music Rack. John Englund, Minneap-
olis, Minn. Patent No. 615,480.
This invention has for its object to pro
vide an improved music rack or holder
especially adapted for application to a
person's knee.
The Boston Felting Co.
In placing orders for the New Year
manufacturers will find it profitable to
look up the piano and organ felts made by
the Boston Felting Co., 39 Lincoln street,
Boston, Mass. These wares have been
before the trade for many years and have
never failed to give the utmost satisfaction.
The manufacturers feel proud and with
good reason, of the fact, that in no in-
stance have their felts failed to prove thor-
oughly reliable and possessed of those high
qualities for which claims are made. The
Boston Felting Co. are not prone to vain-
glorious statements, they have rather
sought to build up their business along
the lines of merit and reliability. That
they have won no small place in trade
esteem is evident from the list of satisfied
customers which they carry on their
books. With improved conditions ahead
of us there is good reason to expect this
institution will add considerably to their
business during the year of 1899.
Lyon & Healy, the great Chicago dealers in
musical instruments and supplies, ivrite :
' ' F o r several years we have noted an
ever
increasing
public
interest
in
. . . .
The Graphophone*
This has been brought about on the one
I hand by reason of the many
delightful
features necessarily inherent in a sound-
reproducing machine, and on the other hand
by the great improvements in the machines
themselves.
The Graphophones which we
now offer to the musical world do not need
the charm of absolute novelty to command
attention.
They have outgrown the expensive experimental stage incidental
to novelties and to-day challenge
admiration as perfect mechanical productions offered at a wonderfully reasonable price."

This fall ana 'winter there will be a great demand for Graphophones and Graphophone supplies. The goods are easily
handled and attract customers. Write to our nearest office for Catalogue M, and for discounts granted dealers*
