THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Freedom from Repairs ?
you back up such a guarantee by actual physical proof? You can. Provided
A ND you can manufacture
or sell a player-piano containing the Simplex Player Action.
Why should we make such a broad claim for the Simplex
-Action? Because throughout all the years which we have
been building the Simplex Player Action our main aim has
been to produce an action that will stand just such a guarantee.
No part of the Simplex Action has ever been considered
satisfactory to us until it had been simplified in construction to
the point of highest efficiency. This has extended not only to
the separate parts of our action, but to the manner of putting
these parts together.
STANDARD, INTERCHANGEABLE PARTS.
SEPARATE UNITS OF ALL VITAL PARTS.
GROUPING OF UNIT PARTS INTO LARGER UNITS
. FOR EASY INSTALLATION AND ACCESSIBILITY.
Those are the real features of the Simplex Action of today.
Don't get the idea that we are claiming the impossible for
the Simplex. In the best constructed actions in the world
there are chances for troubles over which the maker has no
control. For example, dust working into the valve. It is to
""make easy disposal of such troubles that we evolved the famous
Simplex Unit Pneumatic, a form of construction which has
practically revolutionized player action building.
PLAYE
SOLVED THE SIMPLEST WAY
A screw-driver and a few minutes' time are all you need to
get at any ailment that may have attacked a Simplex
Pneumatic. You just take out the pneumatic whole and replace
it with a new one or one from the end of the scale—and the
trouble is taken care of.
Please, remember that although replacing a Simplex Pneu*
matic is the easiest job in the world you rarely have it to do.
Because we have made provisions to guard against even
these unexpected valve troubles. For example, a fine screen
is used in the Simplex Pneumatic as a precaution against dust.
Any manufacturer, dealer or repairman who will contrast
the simplicity of the operation described above with the work
necessary in ordinary actions will at once see the importance
of knowing more about the Simplex.
A book that describes the newest player action construction
will be sent free on request. This book is for every man in any
branch of the player piano business—Manufacturer—Dealer—
Salesman—Tuner—Repair Man. Why not write for it today?
