A, in the drawing, represents a. flame of suitable construction, on which a series of projecting arms, a a, is airanged at suitable distances apart. i
B B are a series of metallic disks or plates of suitable form and thickness, fastened in suitable manuel- The thickness'and composition, as well as the form, of each platev or disk, regulate the number of vibrag tions produced by it, and the consequent-sound. v
i I propose to facilitate tbe regulation of the sounds by slotting or pelforating some or all of the plates, as
indicated in fig. 1, so that they may thereby be made f more or less elastic, as may be desired. v The metals from which the disks or plates are made, must be of some `metal or metallic" alloy possessing sonoous qualities. I
