Fig. C—Roller-Valve Diaphone.<br />
used for this purpose in bellows work, where a<br />
A different type <strong>of</strong><br />
Diaphone is repre-<br />
sented by Fig. C. Its<br />
tone is said to par-<br />
take <strong>of</strong> the nature <strong>of</strong><br />
a smooth Diapason or<br />
Flute. A model was<br />
exhibited by Mr. Hope-<br />
Jones at a lecture in<br />
1895. Wind enters at<br />
the foot a, charges the<br />
chamber c, and acts<br />
upon the back <strong>of</strong><br />
the motor M, in such<br />
a manner that this<br />
latter is collapsed. In<br />
collapsing it moves<br />
(through the medium<br />
<strong>of</strong> the thong or flat<br />
chain b) the roller<br />
valve v, thus allowing<br />
the wind in the cham-<br />
ber c to escape through<br />
e into the resonator or<br />
pipe p. Wind, passing<br />
through the channel l,<br />
acts upon the inside<br />
<strong>of</strong> the motor m in<br />
such a manner that<br />
the pressure on the<br />
inside and the out-<br />
side <strong>of</strong> the motor is<br />
balanced, and the<br />
spring s is at liberty<br />
to close the roller<br />
valve v again. The<br />
cyclic process is re-<br />
peated. The particular<br />
function <strong>of</strong> the roller<br />
valve in <strong>organ</strong> work is<br />
to admit wind gradu-<br />
ally. It is sometimes<br />
