IMPROVEMENT IN REED-ORGAN ATTACHMENTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 149,232, dated March 31,1874; application filed February 7,1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Elisha Yv. Lincoln, of Norwich, State of Connecticut, have invented a Combination of Bars and Coils Attached and Applied to a Reed-Organ, of which the following is a specification :

Th6 nature of my invention consists in combining, in the same instrument, the bars and coils, which are played by hammers attached to the keys. The following is a clear and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the drawings making part of this specification, in which— ^Figure 1 is a sectional view of key, operating-lever, and damper-bar, with their attachments. Fig. 2 is a section, showing a view of coil; Fig. 3, a plan view of the attachments as applied to a reed-organ.

A is the key; b, a pin extending into a slot in the key. B B are the hammers; c the coil-springs for throwing the hammers up from the bars or coils D. D is one of the soundingcoils ; E E, metal bars; // keys or screw-pins to hold the bars upon and between pieces of felt, marked g g; G G', sections of sounding board or chambers, that portion adjacent to the bars E being higher and larger than the bass part. The reverse, however, may be the case. G is provided with a longitudinal par tition, G^/z, upon which the coils D are mounted. Η H are damper-bars, carrying pieces of felt, and which are removed, so as to allow the coils and bars to sound unobstructed by them, by means of a frame, K K, and lever L, which may be operated by the pedal or not. M is a rod, on which hammers are pivoted.

The above is a description of my invention.
