The pitch-changer is mounted in a cavity in the body of a Spanish guitar, and incorporates a second-class lever in the form of a bolt which is adjustably associated with a link, the latter being connected to the string to be tensioned in order to change the pitch thereof. The bolt is pivoted by a bell-crank lever which, in turn, is connected to the shoulder strap for operation thereby. The link is adjustable along the length of the bolt to thus change the degree of pulling of the string in response to a predetermined movement of the bell crank and the bolt. Stop means are provided to limit movement of the bell crank to a predetermined angle, and a torsion spring is provided to counterbalance the weight of the guitar body, the mounting of the torsion spring being such that there is no lateral force against the pivot for the bell crank.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTACT PRINTING WHICH COMPRISES MOVING A TRANSPARENCY WEB AND A WEB OF PHOTOSENSITIVE PRINT MATERIAL TOGETHER IN CLOSE CONTACT AND AT A SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORM SPEED PAST AN EXPOSURE POSITION AT WHICH THE PRINT MATERIAL IS EXPOSED TO LIGHT PASING THROUGH THE TRANSPARENCY WEB, PROVIDING A LIQUID LAYER BETWEEN THE WEBS TO ESTABLISH OPTICAL CONTACT BETWEEN THEM, AND APPLYING FLUID PRESSURE TO PRESS THE WEBS TOGETHER, THE FLUID PRESSURE BEING GREATEST AT A POSITION WHERE THE WEBS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER VIA THE LIQUID LAYER AND BEFORE THEY HAVE REACHED THE EXPOSURE POSITION.
摘要:
A bass or other guitar has a transducer for each of its strings, and each transducer is connected to an octave jumping circuit which lowers the musical tone produced by the individual string, all without loss of either harmonics or amplitude variations. The wave form of the fundamental frequency of each musical tone is squared, divided by two and then amplitude modulated to follow the amplitude envelope of the original tone. The modulated square wave contains only odd harmonics of the lowered frequency fundamental. The missing even harmonics are restored by combining with the modulated square wave the original tone containing all of its harmonics.
摘要:
Photoemitters are formed on selected areas of a substrate or on a normally inaccessible substrate by coating the selected areas or substrate with a layer of a nucleating material having a higher heat of sublimation than the photoemitter base layer (e.g., nichrome if the latter base layer is antimony). The substrate with the selected nucleated areas thereon is sealed into an evacuated envelope and is baked out to remove foreign gases. Antimony is then evaporated inside or caused to diffuse into the envelope at an elevated temperature such that it is deposited only on the nucleated surfaces. An alkali metal (e.g., caesium) is then evaporated within the envelope and it adheres only to the areas where the antimony has previously been deposited, forming photoemitters on the selected area or areas on the substrate.

APPARATUS FOR EXPOSING AND DEVELOPING LIGHT-SENSITIVE MATERIAL FROM A MASTER COPY COMPRISING AN EXPOSURE UNIT HAVING A SOURCE OF COLLIMATED LIGHT TO WHICH THE COPY AND MATERIAL ARE DELIVERED FOR EXPOSURE AND A DEVELOPER UNIT HAVING A CHAMBER CONTAINING A DEVELOPING VAPOR TO WHICH THE EXPOSED MATERIAL IS DELIVERED FOR DEVELOPMENT. BOTH THE EXPOSURE AND DEVELOPER UNITS INCLUDE CYLINDRICAL MEMBERS ENCOMPASSED BY BELTS WHICH ARE DRIVEN TO CARRY THE COPY OR MATERIAL IN SHEET FORM POSITIONED BETWEEN THE CYLINDER AND BELT TO EXPOSURE AND DEVELOPER ZONES OF THE CYLINDERS. THE UNITS ARE DRIVEN IN SYNCHRONISM IN A MANNER PROVIDING RAPID DELIVERY TO AND FROM A PREDETERMINED DWELL TIME AT THE EXPOSURE AND DEVELOPER ZONES.
