Doing Away With Belt Drive
In many progressive factories belt drives are being supplanted by direct
motor drives for certain kinds of work. Greater economy of power and
more efficient operation is thus secured.
A notable example of this is in the new plant of the National Acme Com
pany, Cleveland, Ohio, where 665 Robbms & Myers Motors arc used on
multiple spindle automatic screw machines, grinding machines, punch
presses and similar equipment
Robbins & Myers Motors were first used by this company, the largest of
ts kind in the world, in 1916. So dependable were the R&M Motors,
and so economical, that the increased installation was but natural, a3 was
the adoption by them of R&M Motors on many of the machines they
manufacture.
Similarly, the reputation won by the R&M Motors extends to motor
driven devices for office, store and home, where they are regularly used
by leading manufacturers. There is a Robbins & Myers Motor for every
Purpose. Look for the R&M name plate on the motors or the motor-equipped
devices you buy.

The uolinist draws the
bow across the violin
strings and immediately
the vast concert hall is filled
with sound.
The mere vibrations of
the string are intensified to
siich an extent by the spe
cially designed construction
of tho violin that the sound
can be clearly heard hun
dreds of feet awav.
The Cliencj iolin Kcbo
nator shown above - ks
carved from reasoned io
lin wood and suspended free
from cabinet walls. Vibrat
ing freely, as the sound
passes through, it adds
quality to Cheney Tones
.iust as a violin vibrates
when a bow is drawn across
its strings.
This is but one of the striking inventions, making for
the wonderful improvement of Cheney tone.
Handsome cabinets of period design.
Prices for the Cheney range from
$115.00 to $600.00
Suitable terms of payment can be arranged.
