THE
The early inauguration of a one cent letter
rate was promised by Postmaster-General Al-
bert S. Burleson, in an address before the Na-
tional Association of Postmasters, in their con-
vention held last month. In addressing the
postmasters, General Burleson declared that
they are giving the best postal service in the
world to-day and that is what the American
farmer and business man are entitled to for they
pay for it. He advised the postmasters to spare
no expense that means greater efficiency in the
discharge of their duties..
IMPROVED PIPE CHEST FOR ORGANS
WASHINGTON, D. C, August 28.—The American
Photo Player Co., Berkeley, Cal., are the owners
through assignment by Burt R. Van Valken-
burg, Oakland, Cal., of Patent No. 1,195,536 for
a pipe chest which relates to an improved pipe
chest for organs, and more specifically to a
pneumatically operated instrument of the organ
type.
The principal object of this invention is to
provide improved means for opening any pas-
sage controlling a note to the air pressure in
the chest by means of a vacuum pneumatic
located on the exterior thereof.
Further objects are to provide an improved
general arrangement of the chest, means
whereby independent adjustment may be se-
cured for the amount of opening and the spring
pressure tending to close the opening, and con-
struction of the plunger rod to prevent leakage
around the same.
TO INCREASE RANGE OF EXPRESSION
WASHINGTON, D. C, August 28.—Claus E. Peter-
son, Worcester, Mass., was last week granted
Patent No. 1,195,265 for a piano player. The
present invention relates to that class of piano
players by which the tone producing mechan-
isms of a piano are actuated by a pneumatic
mechanism and controlled by a perforated music
sheet traveling over the ducts of a tracker bar.
The objects of the invention are to simplify
the construction and increase the efficiency of
instruments of this class, and enable a greater
range of expression and accuracy of operation
to be secured.
