winding of said flexible connection as the car-
riage is.restored to initial position.
3. The combination in a sound-reproduc-
ing machine, of a slidably-mounted sound-
5. box carriage, a winding-drum, a flexible con-
nection between the drum and the carriage,
an operating -shaft, a clutching means be-
tween the shaft and drum, and means for dis-
connecting the shaft from the drum at the
10 completion of each reproducing operation.
4. In a sound - reproducing machine,'the
combination with a slidably-mounted siund-
box carriage, of a winding-drum, a flexible
connecting means between the drum and car-
15 riage, a shaft. on which the drum is loosely
mounted, a clutching means between the
drum and shaft, and means operable in ad-
vance of a complete rotative movement of'
the drum for releasing the drum from the
2o shaft and permitting its return to initial po-
sition.
5. In a sound-reproducing machine, a slid-
ably-mounted sound-box carriage, a winding-
drum, a flexible connecting means between
25 the drum and carriage, said, drum having a
recess or opening at one of-its ends, a shaft
on which the drum is loosely mounted, a key
or lug projecting from the shaft and adapted
to enter said recs, a spring tending to force
30 the drum in the direction of the lug or key,
and interengaging cams carried one by the
dxqr, and the other by the fixedframe of the
machine and:serving to disconnect the drum,
from the shaft at the end of each reproduc-
35 ing operation..
f. In a sound-reproducing machine, a slid-
ably-mounted sound-box carriage, a winding-
drum, a flexible connecting means extending
between the drumi and the carriage, a shaft
40 on which said drum is mounted, means for,
automatically clutching the drum to and re-.
leasing it from the shaft, and a cam also
mounted on said shaft and' controlling the
movement of the carriage toward and from
45 the records.
7. In a sound - reproducing machine, a
frame, a rock-shaft.carried thereby and pro-
vided with. a longitudinal groove, a sound-
box carriage mounted on the shaft and hav-
5o ing a member entering.such groove, an oper-
atmng..shaft ^nd means operated from said
shaft for traversing the carriage lengthwise
of the shaft during the reproducing opera-
tion, and for rocking said rek-shaft to move
.55 the sound-box away from the record at the
completion of the reproducing operation.
. 8.In: a sound - reproducing machine, a
sound-box carriage, a support on which said
carriage is slidably mounted, said support
'6'being, movable to adjust the sound-box to
operative and inoperative positions, and a
single shaft operatively connected to the car-
Tiage and its support and serving to move the
carriage to reproducing position at the be-
65 ginning of an operation; to traverse the car-riage along the record, and to move the car-
riage away from-the record at the completion
of the reproducing-operation.
9. In a .sound - reproducing machine a
sound-box carriage, a support on which the 70
carriage is slidably mounted, a record-carry-
ing mandrel having a friction-pulley, a mov-
able frame, a friction driving - pulley sup-
ported thereby, and means connecting said
movableframe to the carriage-support, where- 75
by on movement of the drivingpulley into
contact with the mandrel-pulley, the sound-
box will be moved in the direction of the man-
drel, and on disconnection of the friction-
pulleys, the sound-box will be moved away 8o
from the mandrel.
10. In a sound - reproducing machine, a
rock -shaft, a sound -box carriage slidably
mounted thereon but held from independent
rotative movement, a spring connected to 85
the rock -shaft and tending through said
shaft to force the sound-box in the direction
of the record, and an adjustable means for
limiting the extent of such movement.
11. In a sound - reproducing machine, a 90
rock-shaft, a sound-box carriage free to slide
thereon but held from independent rotative
movement, a spring tending to move the
sound-box in the direction of the record, a
sleeve adjustably secured to the rock-shaft, a 95
pin or arm extending from said sleeve, and
an adjustable stop for engaging said pin or
arm to limit the movement of the sound-box
in the direction of the record.
12. In. a sound-reproducing machine, a 1oo
rock-shaft, a sound-box, a carriage slidably
mounted thereon, but held from independent'
rotative movement, a spring tending to move
the sound-box in the direction of the record,
a adjustable sleeve 'secured to the-shaft, a 105
pin or arm depending from said sleeve, an ad-
justable stop. for limiting the movement of
the pin or arm, a rocking frame, a record-
mandrel-driving pulley carried by the frame,
and a bar pivotally connected to the frame 1 o
and having a .notch or recess in which said
pin or arnris entered.
13. In a sound -reproducing machine, the
combination with a rock-shaft having a lon-
gitudinal slot, of a sound-box carriage includ- "15
ing a sleeve through which the rock-shaft
passes, -antifriction -.rollers carried by the
sleeve and entered in said slot, an arm de-
pending from the sleeve, a rigid bar, an anti-
friction-roller carried by the arm and serving 120
by engagement with said rigid bar to limit
movement of the carriage in one direction, a
spring acting on the rock-shaft and tending -
to throw the sound-box in the direction of
the record, an adjustable collar carried by 125
the rock-shaft, a pin or arm depending from
said collar, an adjustable stop engaging said
pin or arm to limit movement of the sound-
b'ox in the direction of the record, a rocking
frame, a record-mandrel-driving pulley sup- 1304
