TO FIX NEW ELECTRIC RATES
IMPROVED VALVE FOR PLAYERS
Public Service Commission to Open Question
of Charge for Electric Power
Patented Granted on Valve for Manually Oper-
ating Auxiliary Devices
Owners of electrically operated pianos will
follow with much interest the action begun by
the Public Service Commission on Wednesday,
August 23, when it was moved that the entire
question of rates that may be charged by the
New York Edison Co. be reopened.
The question came up on receipt of a peti-
tion filed by the City Chamberlain, on behalf
of the Mayor, asking that the present order
of the commission allowing the New' York
Rdison Co. to charge until May 1, 1918, 8
cents a kilowatt hour for electricity furnished
be changed and thai July 1, 1917, be fixed as
the time for the present rate order to expire.
The commission goes further than the
Mayor, for the motion not only contemplates
a change in time limit, but also the making of
a new rate. The question will come up be-
fore the commission at its meeting on Septem-
ber 7.
WASHINGTON, D. C, September 6.—The Amer-
ican Photo Player Co., Berkeley, Cal., are the
owners through assignment by Burt R. Van
Valkenburg, Oakland, Cal., of Patent No. 1,196,-
183 for a track valve.
This invention relates to an improved valve
for use on pneumatic players, orchestrions and
like musical instruments, by which auxiliary de-
vices such as drums, bells, whistles and devices
for producing various musical effects may be
manually thrown into operation.
The principal object of the invention is to
construct a valve device having a passage which
is normally closed by a flexible self-adjusting
valve disc.
Other objects are to provide a device which
is mechanically simple in construction, efficient
in operation and easily attached to the musical
instrument.
The improved device is particularly adapted
to be placed on the instruments used in moving
picture houses, close to the keyboard thereof
so that the operator in following a picture,
can, by depressing the proper valves, produce
various effects which add to the realism of the
picture.

Md., which he has assigned to the J. P. Caul-
field Piano Co., same place.
The object of the present invention is to pro-
vide improved pneumatic means for effecting a
rewinding of the music sheet and improved
pneumatic means for controlling the expression
devices.
