Pratt Read Actions electric
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 10.—The second group
expression actions. Model G action is
designed for grands.
Model P Pratt Read expression action is
briefly dealt with in the same booklet, but is
described in detail in the red-covered pamphlet
devoted exclusively to this action. The chief
feature of this action, designed for uprights,
is the compact electrical bottom unit, which
may be purchased separately. This unit com-
bines the electric motor, power bellows, expres-
sion box, air motor governor, rewind and replay
pneumatics, graduator valve, electric switch and
wiring.
Twenty-three points of superiority arc listed
for the Pratt Read Model P action, some of
them being as follows: "The metal tubing is
covered with cotton braid to prevent vibra-
tions"; "A cut-off switch for the automatic sus-
taining pedal is provided"; "Air is exhausted
from both ends of the top action"; "The music
roll re-rolls rapidly until near the end, when
it slows down to help the control pneumatics in
their functions"; "Built of hardwood for tight-
ness, permanence, compactness and fine finish."
