This Time It’s A Better
Piano, Not A» Mousetrap
DALLAS (AP) - A Dullas
aerospace firm is pursuing
quest that has challenged man
for centuries—how to build
better piano.
Ultramodern laboratory facill
ties and scientific know-how
used to develop space vehicles
are being used in the experi-
ment.
With more than a million dol
lars worth of intricate, test and
data gathering equipment, rock-
et experts at LTV Aerospace
Corp., Missiles and Space Dh
vision, are teaming with re-
searchers from C. G. Conn
Ltd., of Elkhart, Ind., to apply
a new level of scientific analy-
sis to piano design.
"Oddly enough, pianos and
space vehicles—both complex^'
structures with a lot in inter-
acting components—have quite
i bit in common,” said Dr.
Earle L. Kent, for the past 28
years director of research for
the world’s largest musical in-
strument manufacturing compa-
ny.
Kent said, “Terms like G-
forces, specific impulse, me-
chanical impedances and accel-
erations have come into their
own in the space age, yet there
are the very areas we’ve been
dealing with since the piano was
invented in the early 1700s
whether we knew it or not.’
He Mid white scientific ap-
proaches to instrument design
have been used to some degree
in recent years, most improve-
ments have come through the
slow, trial-and-error methods of
evolution.

searchers believe their studies

Theft, Vandalism
Being Probed By
Baytown Police
Baytown police are investigat-
ing a felony theft and an incident
of vandalism.
James Haines,5427 Hazel, re-
ported to police that someone
removed a tool bo4f from his
work bench at Busby Buick, 518
West Texas, where he works as a
mechanic.
- The theft was discovered
when he reported for work and
the loss was estimated at 8270.
E. C. Hartrick, 1708 Utah, told
police he and his wife were
watching television when they
heard a loud noise outside.
According to a police report,
someone had thrown a can of
paint against the home of the

mark the first time such
vanced space-type equipment
and such precise analytical
methods have been employed In
this field.
Among factors common to pi-
anos and space vehicles is
bration, the forces that cause it
and the methods of controlling
it. The space engineer usually
wants to get rid of vibration
or protect against it, the instru-
ment designer to increase It or
use it to best advantage.
Included in the experiments
at LTV Aerospace, the research
era are inducing vibration and
accelerations at numerous
points on the piano—sounding
board, strings, bridges and oth
er areas—and measuring the re-
sults of hypersensitive record-
ing tostryments.
But whatever improvements
results, Dr. Kent believes they
will be confined to the inside
of the piano.
He said, “We’ve tried innova-
tions such as narrower and dif-
ferently-shaped keys which we
felt would make things easier,
but musicians—a competent and
superior jury — didn’t like
them." X,
Nor does Dr. Kent have illu

(Trail Riders Donate $2,500 To Boys Harbor
The 1969 trail ride of the Trin-
ity Valley Trail Riders Associa-
tion resulted In 82,500 for Boys
Hrbor at La Porte.
"The trail ride is only a little
over a year old and already we
have given 83,240 to Boys Harbor
in two rides,” Jack Hunt, trail
boss, said. "Our contribution In
1970 will exceed this one by far.
We tripled in 1969 over 1968.”
The Trail Ride officials ex-
pressed thanks to all partici-
pants who “made such a large
contribution possible."
’In 1970 we will not only be one
of the largest rides, next to the
Salt Grass Trail, £ut every ride
had better keep their eyes on this
ride, as it is one of the best in the
business and it has got to grow
and grow," Hunt said.
On June 13 the Trinity Valley
Association will have a kick-off
dance at the Texas Ball Room to the staff at the Harbor,” Hunt
give a send-off for the two-day
ride from Pasadena to Boys
Harbor on June 21-22. A free bar-
becue will be held at 2 p.m. June
21 at Boys Harbor and the ride
will camp for the night and ride
back to Pasadena June 22.
The fee will be 86 for adults
and this includes the barbecue.

NEW YORK (AP) - Anyone
who watched the Democratic
convention in Chicago last sum-

good idea in advance about the
story line of Tuesday night’s
“World Premiere” film feature
of the same name.
The two-hour NBC drama was
inspired by the epidemic^of
demonstrations and campusTe-
bellions. In fact, the most of the
first hour the show moved more

graphed documentary than a

the denouncement indicates
certain lack of sophistication by
that law firm.
The courtroom and legal stuff

the production was beautifully

an hour, will move along at a
more interesting pace.
