Notary Public in and for Brown
County Texas.
Concealed sounding boards and
amplifying compartment of Wood--provide
the very-limit of area of vi-
brating surface and sound amplifying
compartment so absolutely essential to
an exact and pure tone reproduction.
Exhibition sound box the accura-
tive sensitive reproducing diaphragm
that picks up' every particle of tone
from the most complex chord nomat-.
ter how minute and converts it into
an exact reproduction of the original.
Tapering tone arm With its exact
taper and perfectly smooth bore"
which is scientifically calculated and
constructed to conform to the expand-
ing soiind waves created by the sound
box.
"Goose-neck" sound box luhe
the flexible metal connection between
the sound box and tapering tone arm
which enables the Victor Stylus to
follow the record grooves with un-
erring accuracy.
. Modifying doors may be opened
wide thereby giving the tone: in its
fullest volume; or doors may be set
at any degree graduating the volume
of tone- to exactly suit every require-
ment. Closed tight the volume is re-
duced to the minimum and when not
in use interior is fully protected.
' . Victor System of changeable
fungs-lone Stylus made in full
and soft lone gives you perfect con-
trol of the tone volume and enables
ypii to adopt ever)' record to the acous-
tic limitations of any room. You
choose the volume of tone and play
each record as loud or soft as you per-
sonally wish to hear it without in the
least degree changing the artist's in-
terpretation. The Victor Tungs-tone
Stylus will play from 50 to 200 rec-
ords without changing.
. At is the perfection of every part;
and its perfect combination with all
other parts that gives the Victrola its
superior tone that makes- the Vic-
trola the greatest of all musical instruments.
