20 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD. TONE REGULATORS FOE ALL TALKING MACHINES =^^= it 'Junior' Tone Regulator Illustration represents The Tone Regulator as it looks on a Victor Tapering Arm Machine. If you will notice the cut you will find part marked "E.' This is aluminum cup, which fits over the Exhibition sound box and when reducing the tone the cup prevents the tone escaping through the sound box. With this Tone Regulator one can change the tone from very loud to very soft by simply turning the thumb screw marked "C" in cut. The Tone Regulator does away with the soft tone needle. The volume of tone can be reduced without impairing the quality of same, thus enabling one to hear the loudest band piece in a very small room. Price $1.00 Tone Regulator for Edison Maeliines The illustration is an exact cut and size of our Tone Regulator for phonographs. By simply turning the thumb screw you can regulate the tone so that the loudest band pieces may be listened to with pleasure in the smallest room. The Tone Regulator is placed between the reproducer and the rubber connection or the horn. Price 75 cents each The "Universal" Tone Regulator The -UiNIVERSAL TONE REGULATOR" is designed to fit Tapering or Straight Arm Victor Machines, also Columbia and Zonophone Tapering Arm Machine. With the "Regulator" the tone from the horn can be reduced to any desired volume at the will of the operator without stopping the machine. By the use of the cap over the outside of the reproducer the sound which comes from that side is cut off. and only the pure tone which comes through the horn is heard. This outside tone has a higher pitch than that which passes through the horn and causes much of the harsh metallic sound often noticed, which is really a discord. To apply the "Regulator" loosen the screws which fasten the reproducer to the arm and remove the reproducer. With the Victor the same screws can be used, but with others they must be replaced by ones furnished with the "Regulator," which are slightly longer than those originally on the machine. Place the "Regulator" against the rubber disc in such a manner that the slide valve will be away from the rubber and against the metal back of the reproducer, and so that the screws will pass through the proper holes ; those marked "A" being made to fit the Victor and Zonophone, and the three marked "B" to fit the Columbia. Place the reproducer against the "Regulator" so that the screws will enter the proper holes, and set the screws tight to place. The instrument is then ready for use.
