PUBLICITY FOR KLUGH PATENTS
The Scientific American Publishes Lengthy Arti-
cle Describing Player Device Invented by
Prominent Chicago Piano Executive.
A recent issue of the Scientific American con-
tained an illustrated story concerning an inven-
tion patented by Paul B. Klugh, of Chicago,
which has for its purpose the accentuation of
the theme or solo in player rolls by controlling
the length of stroke of the hammers. This
patent was described in a previous issue of The
Review. Mr. Klugh was recently granted five
different patents on player devices, a technical
description of which is given elsewhere in this
issue.
AUTOMATIC SHEET TRACKER
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 22.—Louis H. Maier,
New York, was last week granted Patent No.
1,183,218 for an automatic music-sheet tracker,
and the object of the invention is to provide
improved means to cause music sheets in auto-
matic musical instruments to properly pass over
the orifices of the tracker board to the end that
the openings in the music sheet shall properly
register with the orifices of the trackerboard.
MISS NEILSEN ADMIRES THE APOLLO
Alice Neilsen, who sang last week at the Syr-
acuse Festival, Syracuse, N. Y., is an enthu-
siastic admirer of the Apollo player-piano and
recently wrote a testimonial concerning her ad-
miration for the instrument. While in Syracuse
she heard the records of Harold Bauer on the
reproducing Melville Clark Grand Apollo, the
demonstration being given at the warerooms
of the Clark Music Co., 420 South Salina street.
The Henry F. Miller & Sons. Piano Co., of
526 Congress street, Portland, Me., will move
to a new location at 25 Forest avenue, on the
first of June, according to a statement made by
Manager Ralph W. E. Hunt, increasing business
necessitating this change.
REVIEW
FIRE DRILLS AT STANDARD PNEUMATIC ACTION PLANT
The manner in
which safety and
dfficiency are com-
bined in the plant
of the Standard
Action Co., is in-
dicated by the ac-
:ompanying views
of o n e depart-
ment of t h a t
p l a n t , that de-
voted to the glu-
ing of pneumatics.
For this work it
is f o u n d that
women and girls
make the best op-
eratives, their deft
fingers a c c o m -
plishing the work
with greater ac-
curacy and rapid-
ity. The accom-
A Section of the Gluing Room, Showing the Girls at Work
panying pictures
are of particular
interest inasmuch
as the first shows
the girls hard at
their work, im-
mediately before
a fire drill was
sounded, and the
s e c o n d picture,
the empty room
s n a p p e d fifteen
seconds afterward
with the workers
s a f e l y in the
street. The views
tell better than
words of the suc-
cess of the train-
ing which the em-
ployes of the con-
The Gluing Room Fifteen Seconds After the Fire Alarm Was Sounded
cern receive.
No Guiding Device Necessary
It is a well-known fact that
CONNORIZED
Music Rolls
need no guiding device
For seventeen years our paper has been tested and has always Tracked and
Rewound Perfectly—without any Guiding Device or Adjustable Spool.
