Electro-magnet N23 is also connected with one of the Contact springs of the pair associated with the key L. Electromagnet N24 is also connected with one of the contact springs ofthe pair associated withthe key'L.

The' several parts may be operated against any desirable restoring means.
The arrangement described and shown posits three drawstop controlled rods for each register for each keyboard so that for ten registers and two manual keyboards there would be sixty draWsto'p controlled rods. For a pedal keyboard there would be bt' one o'r two rods p'er register making the total number of draw-stop'4 controlled ro'ds and therefore the number of dra'wstops for tle ten registers seventy to eighty to which must be added the drawstop controlled rods of pedal pipes one rod for each register of pedal pipes.4 For the' four foot and two foot scale registers practical considerations would require but one drawstop controlled ro'd for 'each register per keyboard. Thus foreach eight foot sca-le register there will lie three drawstops of sixteen foot, eight foot, and four foot denomination respectively for each manual keyboard. There will be as many register switches operated by each draw'stop controlled rod as there are keys perkeyboard, namely, sixty one for those rods related to the manual keyboards and about thirty two for those drawstop controlled rods related to the pedal keyboard.
Each keyswitch M', M8, &c. requires as many pins i', s', t, &c., as there are drawstop controlled rods M1, M2 &c., related to the manual controlling the key switch M1, o'r M, &c., so that ten registers require thirty pins for ea'chkey switch, the pedal key switches requiring a less number of pins.
When there are but sixty one pipes in a register the suboctave and superoctave connections are carried out only within the c'ompass of the register. Also, since each pipe controlling device is, so far as the scheme is concerned, to' be connected to a key switch in subocta've and superoctave relation the scheme can only be carried out Within the compass of the keyboards.
Since the pipes of a register as Well as the keys of 'a keyboard are commonly designated by terms denoting relative pitch 1n the musical scale it is appropriate to designate the pipe sounding devices and also the branch circuits includin the' keys of a keyhoard and the' pipes o a register in the unison, snbfoctave, and superoctave relation, as unison, subo'ctave, and Superoctave devices and circuits respectively. It is for the sake of ciearness and the avoidance of a tedious circu'nlocution that the devices and circuits are so designated in the claims.
It is to he es ecially noted that the branch circuits exten ing from the key switches to the p'ipe vs'"t'niding devices form similar' groups of circuits, the group from edcn key switch comprising a unison, a suboctave, and a supcroctaye circuit; also that the circuits extending i rom the pipe sounding devices to the key switches forni similar groups of circuits the group from each pipe sounding device comprising n unison, a. suboctave` and a superoctave circuit; and that, of the groups of circuits from a key and a device of the saine pitch the unison circuit is alone identical in both groups.
While the switches consisting of contact springs closed and opened by pins controlled by drawstops might be designated drawstop controlled switches, it is preferable for the purpose of clarity in the claims to designate them register switches since their opera tion determines what register at a given pitch relation shall be related to a given ke board.
)While each circuit related with a key switch is separately closed and opened upon the operation of the key controlling that key switch yet the various spring contacts and their respectively associated pin contacts constitute a multiple Contact switch each spring Contact being individual to a circuit and the pins by reason of their being connected together by the bar supporting them being common to all the circuits. In fact, the spring contacts might be made to contact directly with the bar this then becoming the common contact.
' The operation of my invention is as follows:
When no drawstops are drawn and no keys are operated no circuits are closed. When no drawstops are drawn the operation of any key closes only the circuit through the electro-magnet with which it is associated an'l therefore operation of the key switches serves no function. lVhcn no keys are `operated operation of the drawstops only closes circuits through the electromagnets with which they are associated and therefore operation of the register switches serves no function.
If drawstop M1T alone be drawn a circuit is closed through electro-magnet li 11 and the register switches o, p, g, of rod M1 are closed. If, now, key K be operated a circuit is closed through electro-magnet M22 and the pin t of key switch M7 being thus brought into contact With its associated contact spring a circuit is also closed as follows, battery 9, conductor 10, electromagnet 3, register switch o of rod M1, contact spring and associated contact pin t of key switch M1, conductor 12, to battery, and pipe 1 is sounded, it being of unison a pitch with the key K. Operation of key K while drawstop M1T alone is drawn closes a circuit through electro-magnet M23 operating key switch MS and bringing its contact pin t into contact with its associated contact spring thus closing a circuit as follows, battery 9, conductor 10, electro-magnet i, register switch p of rod M1, contact spring and associated contact pin t of key switch M8, conductor 12, to battery, and pipe 1 is sounded, it being of unison pitch with the key K. Operation oit' key K while drawstop M1T alone is drawn closes a circuit through electro-magnet M2* operating key switch M, bringing its contact pin t into contact with its associated contact spring thus closing a circuit as follows, battery 9, conductor 10, electro-magnet 5, register switch q of rod M1, contact spring and associated contact pin t of key switch M9, conductor 12, to battery, and pipe l is sounded, it being of unison pitch with the key 1 If drawstop'N1T alone be drawn a circuit is closed through the electro-magnet N10 and the register switches o, p, g, of rod N1 are closed. If, now, key L beV operated a circuit is closed through electro-magnet N22 and thc contact pin t of key switch N1 being thus brought into contact with its associnied Contact spring a circuit is closed as follows. battery 9, conductor 10, electroinagnet 3, register switch 0 of rod N1, con tact spring and associated contact pin t of key switch N7, conductor 12, to battery, and pipe 1 is sounded, it being of unison pitch with the key L. Operation of key L while drawstop N17 alone is drawn closes a circuit through electro-magnet N23, operating key switch N8 andbringing its contact pin t into Contact with its associated contact spring, thus closing a circuit as follows, battery 9, conductor 10, electro-magnet 4, register switch p of rod N1, contact sprin and associated contact pin t of key sWit/c N8, conductor 12, to battery, and pipe 1 is sounded, it bein of unison pitch with the key L. Operation of key L while drawstop N17 alone is drawn closes a circuit through electro-magnet N1* operating key switch N, bringing its contact pin t into Contact with its associated contact spring, thus closing a circuit as follows, battery 9, conductor 10, electro-magnet 5, register switch g of rod N1, contact spring and associated Contact pin t of key switch N9, conductor 12, to battery, and pipe 1 is sounded. it being of unison pitch with the key L.
Thus the pipes of the first register may be sounded in the unison by operating the keys of either or both keyboards.
If drawstop M20 alone be drawn operation of key K, will cause pipe 2 to Sound; operation of key K will cause pipe 2 to sound; operation of key K will cause pipe 2 to sound; these pipes thus being sounded in unison with the keys. The circuits involved can be readily traced by one skilled in the art. If drawstop N2 alone be drawn operation of key L will cause `pipe 2 to 1,248 ,oso
sound; operation ozf key L will cause pipe 2f to sound; 4.operation of k L" will cause pipe 2 to sound; thesepipes thus being sounded in unison with the keys. Thelcirl,cuits involved :can be readil traced by onel skilled in the ant. Thus e pipes of .the second register-maybe sounded in the unison, by-operating the keys of either or bot-h keyboards. l
Thus the pipes of ieither ,or both registers may be sounded in the unison by operating the keys of either or -both keyboards.
The circuits `involved in the above operations are denominated unison circuits.
If .drawstop Mt" alone be drawn, rod M2 is operated and'thefregisterswitcheso, g, of rod NL2 are closed. If,- noxv, key-K be operated the key switch M1 will be operated and its contact pin 1' will be brought into contact with its associated contact spring which is unconnected in the drawing. Operation of key K while draw-stop M16 alone is .drawn operates key switch M3 its Contact pin r being brought into contact lwith its associated contact spring thus closing a circuit as follows, battery 9, conductor l0, electro-magnet 3, register switch o of rod M2, contact spring and associated contact-pin r of key vswitch M22-conductor 12, to battery, and pipe 1 is sounded, it being of pitch an octave below that of key 'K'. Operation of key K While drarvstopltfl16 alone is drawn operates key switch. M its contact pin r being brought into contact with its associated contact spring thus closing a circuit as follows, battery 9, conductor 10, electroinagnet 4, register switch p of rod M2, contact spring and associated contact pin 1" of key switch M,'conductor 12, to battery, and pipe 1 is sounded, it being of pitch an octave below that of the key K.
fdrawsto N alone be'drawn, operation f key will cause pipe 1 to sound, it being in pitch an octave below that of key L; and operation of key Lf will cause ipe 1 to sound it being in pitch an octave below that of key L", the relation of the movable and fixed parts and the circuits being similar to those described above and readily traceable to one skilled in the art.
Thus the pipes ofthe first register in their suboctave relation may be sounded by operation of keys of either or both keyboards.
If drawstop M1w alone be drawn, operation of key K will cause pige -2 to sound it being of pitch an octave elow that of key K operation of key K will cause pipe 2 to sound it bein of pitch an octave below that of key the circuits being readily traceable.
If draWsto-p N alone be drawn, operation of key L will cause ipe 2 to sound it being o pitch an octave elow vthat of key L: operation of 'key L will cause pipe -2 Vto sound 1it being or pitch an octave below that of key L", the circuits being vreadily traceable.
Thus the pipes 4oi'the second register in theirisuboctave relation maybe sounded by the operation of keys of either or both keyboards.
Thus'thepipes of either or both registers in their suboctavel'clation may be sounded by the operation of keys of either or both keyboards.
The circuits involved-in the above operations are denominated suboctave circuits. y
lf drawstop M alone be drawn, rod M*x isopera/ted and its re ister switches o, p, g, are'closed. lf, now, rey K be operated the keylswitoh M? will Ibe operated and its contact pin u will' be brought into contact with its associated Ycontact spring thus closing a circuit as follow-s, battery 9, conductor 10, electro-magnet 4, register switch p oatrod M?, contactspring and associated contact pin 'r of key switch M1, conductor 12, to battery, and-pipe l is sounded, it being of pitch an octave above that of the 'key K. Operation of key K while drawstop MA1B alone is drawn operates key switch its contact pin o being brought into contact with its associated contact spr-ing thus closing a circuit as follows, battery 9, conductor 10,*electro-niagnet 5, register switch q of rod M3, contact spring and its associated contactpin 4o of key switch M9, conductor l2, to battery, and pipe l" is sounded, it being of pitch: an octave above that of key K. Gperation of key K" while drawstop M18 alone is drawn operates key svi/itchv M9 its contact pin o being brought into contact with its associated contact spring which is shown as unconnected in the drawing.
If draWstfipNlxs alone be drawn, operation of key L will cause pipe l' to sound it beingr of pitch an octave above that of key L; and operation of key L' will cause pipe 1l to sound it being in pitch an octave above that of key L', the relation of the movable and fixed parts and the circuits being similar to those described above and readily traceable by one skilled in the art.
Thus the pipes of the first register in their superoctave relation may be sounded by the operation of keys in either or both keyboards.
If drnwstop M-21 alone be drawn, operation of key K will cause pipe 2 to sound it being of pitch an octave above that of key K; operation of key K will cause pipe 9. to sound it being of pitch an octave above that of -key K.
If drawstop N21 alone be drawn, operation of key L will cause pipe 2 to sound it being of pitch anoctave above that of key by the operation of keys of either or both keyboards.

The circuits involved in the above operations are denominated superoctave circuits. Any of the above described operations may take place simultaneously in all combinations.
While only two registers, and three pipes of each register, and only two keyboards and three keys of each keyboard are shown, the like arrangement of parts and circuits is to' be applied to any number of registers and any number of pipes employed in each register and to any number of keyboards within the respective compass of each. While the arrangement is shown for pipes and keys an octave apart any other interval may also be em loyed. Electrical equivalents, as solenoi s for electro-magnets, and mechanical equivalents may also be employed without departing from the spirit of my invention.
