SIMPLEX VALVE CONSTRUCTION
WASHINGTON, I), C, September 18.—An im-
provement in pneumatic actions for pianos has
just been granted to Win, G. Betz, of Buffalo,
N. Y., bearing No. 1,197,596. The principal
features of the invention look more particu-
larly to a simplified valve construction and the
method of supporting the action levers con-
trolled thereby. Referring more particularly
to the valve mechanism, the inventor claims
that with his construction a very effective con-
trol of the hammer action is secured and one
in which a smaller air duct or vent in the
tracker-bar may be used and still secure a very
good operation. The action levers are so hung
that said levers and their supporting arms may
be independently removed when this step be-
comes necessary.
