. \ sple nd id atmosphere o f "ge t-together"
spirit prevailed thr ougho ut and the affair was
a decided success both in crea ting go od fellow­
ship and better business conditions.
The
lun cheon itself left nothin g t o be de sir ed as to
good thi ng s to eat and drink and th e op inion
was unanimous that th e Stan dard Pneumati c Ac·
tion Co. gave a fir st-class entertainment.
The luncheon imm ediatel y followed a meeting
of tuner s and player repairmen in th e ex hibit
r oo ms of the Standard Pneumatic I\ct io n Co .

Pneuma tic Act ion Co ., d el ivered an address in
w hi c h he appealed to th e tuners to co -o perate
more clos ely w ith the action manufacturers,
urging them at the same time to take advantage
of the sp lendid techni ca l course offe red them in
the form of the Danq ua rd Play er .'\ction School.
Wm. Braid White, t ec hnical ed itor of The Music
Trade R ev ie w, gave a s hort talk, al so on the
value of co-operation a'nd opened a di scussio n
Oil various t ec hnical points which were y,;armly

without a doubt a closer relationship between
tuners, r ep'airmen and manufactur ers was ob­
tained.
