[No. 46

the mode of jointing which I employ is similar. Generally,
in order to further strengthen the jointing of either of such
ends of the beds with the barrels or fork-ends, I allow the
ends of the web or webs of the bed to project beyond the bent
ends of the flanges, and to interlock with apertures or re-
cesses in the barrels or forks, and conversely, and particu-
larly where the beds are of double-channel section, rear-
wardly projecting parts of the barrels or forks may enter and
interlock with the ends of the beds. Further, diagonally
extending stays or supports are provided between the flanges
of the barrels and the bed, or between the upwardly and
downwardly extending members of the fork-ends and the
bed.

Improved microphone.

Claims.—(1.) A microphone in which the movable part or
parts are supported by a liquid bath so that the microphonic
contacts will be determined by the thrust of the liquid upon
the movable part or parts, substantially as described. (2.) A
microphone in which the movable part or parts are sup-
ported by a liquid bath—mercury, for instance—and are
immersed in an insulating liquid such as petroleum or
glycerine and the like, substantially as described. (3.) A
microphone in which the movable part or parts are sup-
ported by a liquid bath, and receive the vibrations of the
microphone-plate through one or several contact-pieces
acting upon these elements by pressure or friction, sub-
stantially as described. (4.) A microphone composed of a
receptacle containing a liquid bath—mercury, for instance—
a contact-piece floating upon this liquid bath, one or several
contact-pieces secured under the vibratory plate of the
microphone, and against which the floating contact-piece is
pressed by the thrust of the liquid, substantially as de-
scribed. (5.) A microphone composed of a receptacle con-
taining a liquid bath—mercury, for instance—movable parts
(balls, granulated matter, &c.) floating upon this liquid bath,
one or several contact or abutment pieces secured in an
adjustable manner under the vibratory plate, and against
which the upper portion of these contact-pieces is pressed by
the thrust of the liquid. (6.) A microphone composed of a
receptacle containing a liquid bath, movable parts floating
upon this liquid bath, one or several upper contact-pieces
adjustably secured under the vibratory plate, substantially
as described. (7.) A microphone composed of a receptacle
containing a liquid bath, movable parts floating upon this
liquid bath, one or several upper contact-pieces se-
cured under the vibratory plate, the receptacle being ad-
justably mounted so as to be able to be lifted or lowered and
to enable to adjust the microphonic contacts, substantially
as described. (8.) A microphone composed of a receptacle
containing a liquid bath, movable parts floating upon this
liquid bath, one or several contact-pieces secured under the
vibratory plate, the bottom of the receptacle being movable
so as to be able to be lifted or lowered, thereby enabling to
adjust the microphonic contacts, substantially as described.
