    • 693,594. Magazine gramophones. GUEST, L. V., and BIRMINGHAM SOUND REPRODUCERS, Ltd. Feb. 8, 1952 [Feb. 13, 1951], No 3532/51 Class 40 (ii). An automatic gramophone of the kind in which records are stacked on a centre post, has means for automatically locating the reproducer at the start of a record, irrespective of its diameter, comprising a finger 31 and plate 29 which are rocked, by an amount dependent on the diameter of a falling record, so that the lower end of plate 29 engages one of the abutment surfaces 28 of a spring-loaded movable member 26 which has a further set of abutment surfaces 39, 40, 41, arranged for selective engagement with an arm 42 movable with the reproducer arm 3. The reproducer arm is carried on a horizontal pivot 21 mounted on the upper end of a bracket 12 which is free to rotate about a vertical rod 9 which is movable up and down in a fixed bearing 16 for the purpose of lifting the reproducer arm 3 about the pivot 21. When an automatic cycle is initiated 2 member 22, Fig. 2, is moved to the right, as viewed in that figure, whereby a ramp 23 on the said member 22 lifts the rod 3 and the reproducer is raised from the record. At the same time, the bracket 12 is pressed upwards by a spring 17 on the rod 9 but is restrained by the hooked end 48 on arm 42. Further movement of the member 22 causes its end 52 to come into contact with a pin 14 on the bracket 12 and rotate the latter counterclockwise so that the reproducer is swung outwardly across the record. During this rotation the hook 48 enters a recess 47 in the bracket 12 and the arm 42 rotates therewith against the tension of spring 46, the bracket 12 being restricted from further upward movement by a shoulder 15 on the bearing 16. During this operation a member 50 presses the member 26 downwardly until the lower end of plate 29 becomes latched with the uppermost abutment surface 28. When the next record is then released, the finger 31 and plate 29 is moved about pin 30 by an amount depending on the diameter of the record, and the member 26 is moved upwardly by the spring 35 until the lower end of plate 29 engages the appropriate surface 28. As the member 22 is then withdrawn, arm 42, and the bracket 12 locked thereto, is moved by the spring 46 until the appropriate surface 43, 44 or 45 engages the surface 41, 40 or 39, respectively, on the member 26, and the reproducer is then held over the start of the record on the turntable. Further movement of the member 22 allows the rod 9 to descend and the reproducer lowered on to the record, and the lower end of bracket 12 to descend below the hook 48, whereby the reproducer arm 3 is free to traverse the record.

    • 693,764. Change-speed friction gearing. GUEST, L. V.. SHEPHARD, P., and BIRMINGHAM SOUND REPRODUCERS, Ltd. June 8, 1951 [June 28, 1950], No. 16215/50. Class 80 (ii). Change-speed friction gearing for gramophones, of the kind including a stepped friction wheel 9 adapted to be driven by the motor 3 of the machine and a rubber-tyred friction idler disc 13 adapted to engage between the stepped friction wheel and a circumferential surface 6 on the turntable, the stepped friction wheel and the friction idler disc being disposed for relative axial movement, is characterized by cams or projections 33, 34 being provided between adjacent portions 10, 11, 12 of the stepped wheel, to facilitate the passage of the idler from its smaller to its larger diameter portions, and by either the stepped friction wheel or the friction idler disc being biased in the axial direction to engage the idler disc with the larger diameter portion of the stepped friction wheel. As shown, the friction idler disc 13 is mounted for rotation on a pin 18 movable in a slot along an arm 16, and is urged to engage the stepped friction wheel &c. by a spring 21. The arm 16 is attached to a spindle 14, rotatable and axially movable in a sleeve 15, which is biased downwardly both by gravity and by a spring 30, so that the idler tends to engage with the portion 12 of the stepped wheel. The velocity ratio is changed by moving the spindle 14 vertically, this being effected by a lever 25, pivoted in a support 24, engaging the spindle 14 at one end and being engaged at its other end by a cam 26 on a rotatable spindle 27 turned by means of a knob 28. The cam 26 has three flat portions corresponding to the three ratios of the change speed gear, and is retained in one of the positions corresponding to a particular velocity ratio by a leaf spring 29. In a modification, Figs. 13, 14 (not shown), the stepped friction wheel 9, instead of being mounted directly on the motor spindle, is freely rotatable on a separate pin and has a rubber-tyred portion constantly engaging a cylindrical friction wheel on the motor spindle. In another modification, the idler is held against vertical motion, the stepped friction wheel 9 being splined to the motor shaft and itself moved vertically to produce a change of speed.

    • 719,643. Gramophones. BIRMINGHAM SOUND REPRODUCERS, Ltd., GUEST, L. V., and SHEPHARD, P. V. Jan. 12, 1953 [Jan. 28, 1952; July 16, 1952], Nos. 2338/52 and 18002 / 52. Class 40 (2). In an automatic gramophone the frictional forces tending to sweep the pick-up inwards at the start of a record is countered by the use of yieldable spring biasing means which acts in opposition the movement of the pick-up during the earlier part of its traverse across the record, but becomes progressively reduced until at the end of the. record the direction of the biasing may be reversed. The invention may be used in an automatic gramophone of the kind described in Specification 693,594. A spring 66 is mounted on a member 56 which is stationary during the playing of a record, the end of the spring resting in and acting on an arm 68 on a member 25 carrying the pick-up arm. As the member 25 rotates clockwise during the playing of the record, a dead centre is eventually passed, Fig. 4, after which the spring 66 assists the inward movement of the pick-up arm. A gravity biasing means may be employed in which a weight pivotally connected with the pick-up arm is drawn up an inclined surface during the tracking of the stylus, the inclined surface being made of varying gradient and finally terminating in a gradient of opposite slope.
