These imitations possess no individuality or distinctive merit of their own. But the Scotford Tonearm is difierent. The desi|,n is not a copy of any other, and none of the mechanical features are the same. It does not follow the common theory of developing the sound waves within a tapering tube of curving turns, but obtains superior results through a straight tube of unobstructed an^le turns — the proven method of the "speaking tube." The Superior Reproducer plays all makes of records as they should be played, the needle retaining the same center and same correct an^le in both positions. Note the split, springlike frame, with perfect insulation between frame and backplate and between reproducer and tonearm connection. Note also the sensitive pivoting of the needle bar, imparting a hammerlike movement" to the diaphragm. These patented features, obtainable only in the Scotford ~ inventions, feive a tone of mellow richness, genuinely musical in quality, positively not equalled by any other Samples Will be Submitted on Approval Style 1 (as illustrated) is a combination of Japanned and Plated parts — Tonearm lonfe tube and main elbow.

The simplest balance support made. Easiest to install. It positively will not warp the cover. Lids warped by other supports can easily be brought back to correct shape by the Superior Theoretically, any lid support will warp any lid if placed singly at either side, as the warping is not done when the lid is down. Leaving the cover open causes the warping, as the unsupported comer will sa^ But actually, the Superior Support overcomes this common fault. When down, the support exerts a slight downward pull which corrects any warpinj^ that develops when the lid is up Price of Sample Prepaid Superior Lid Support with Escutcheon Nickel $0.75 Gold $1.25 Sample of Any Superior Specialty on Approval If not rated, deposit the price, which will be refunded on return of samples Write for Quantity Price List of Superior Specialties cA. lifeht touch of one finder lifts or closes the lid, which stops at any point desired ©© ©© ©© ©© BARNHART BROTHERS & SPINDLER Monroe and Throop Streets CHICAGO ©© ©© ©® ©© ©© ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©(§©©©©©©©
