CAPEHART CORPORATION SUES
WESTERN ELECTRIC PIANO CO.
The Capehart Corp., of Fort Wayne, has entered
suit against the Western Electric Piano Co, 850
Blackhawk street, Chicago, for infringement of the
Seabolt patents, owned by The Capehart Corp , suit
being filed May 31.
The Seabolt patents are basic patents covering the
stacking of phonograph records in automatic record
changing devices, used in automatic phonographs and
as units in complete amplification and distribution
systems. The Seabolt patents also cover the sliding
of records either from the top or bottom of the stack
to the turntable. This allows the records to be placed
in the record changing device without any necessity
for attaching them to metal plates, placing each record
in a separate compartment, or "spooling" them on a
special rod or shaft. It also permits continuous play-
ing of the records on both sides, automatically, with-
out the necessity of restacking, respooling or re-
setting the instrument in any way.
According to a statement made by H. E. Cape-
hart, president and general manager of The Capehart
Corp., the suit in question is a friendly one and in-
tended to establish definitely for The Capehart Corp.
the exclusive right to use this principle in the manu-
lacture of record changing devices.
"We feel," said Mr. Capehart, "that as long as
this patent is our property, it is our duty to protect
it against infringement.
Other manufacturers,
spurred on by the remarkable success of The Cape-
hart Corp., have endeavored to get into the field by
imitating the device on which we hold patents."
No definite date has been set for hearing of the
above named patent suit.
The Allgood Music Co. at Rockmart, Ga., has re-
cently moved into larger quarters.
JESSE FRENCH RADIO
MEETS WITH FINE SUCCESS
The Jesse French & Sons' radio has come to be
regarded in the trade as a leader among the high-
class instruments. Wherever sold it has brought
out the praises of the buyers. Dealers who sell it
are leaders in their communities—men who want to
handle the best, realizing that one sale leads to
others.
There are several models of Jesse French radio,
but the Elizabethan model in particular seems to
meet the requirements of up-to-date customers. A
full-page advertisement of this house in this issue
of Presto-Times shows a cut of the Elizabethan
model.
