different ratios were used, more or less in alternation (More teeth, then fewer teeth, etc.). Numbers of teeth were possibly 84:89 and roughly 110 teeth for the other set. The panel cutouts were circular sectors, probably 90 degrees, and iirc were arranged like one octave of a keyboard -- "black-key" notes were positioned above "diatonics", to reduce width.

article was created in 2007. I moved quite a bit of very lengthy and detailed portions of the article pertaining to
Charles G. Conn over to the article about the person, and retained a far more condensed and simplified version of information relevant to the company's history here in this article. I

I assessed this as a mid-importance article for the
Wikiproject Musical Instruments, for being an article on a musical instrument manufacture. I rated it C class because it has a fair amount of content, organized into sections, but needs more references (especially inline references) to let people

The tuning fork's alloy had a zero thermoelastic coefficient, perhaps made by
Carpenter Steel. That attribute must have made its frequency essentially unaffected by temperature. Unfortunately, the supply of that alloy was used up, and it was made a ton at a time; Conn didn't afford a ton of it!

This was probably the original stroboscopic musical instrument tuner. Much of the description of
Peterson strobe tuners applies. I'm surprised to see no mention of it! For a reference, look up a book by Richard H. Dorf about electronic musical instruments, published roughly 1950 or so. It was a

Afaik, it did not need a lot of maintenance; the comments about multi-dial strobe tuners that say they need a lot of maintenance look quite strange. I really doubt that
Peterson design engineers would create such devices. One motor per dial is a great luxury, but timing motors have had about a

IIrc, it had its own microphone. Audio was amplified and fed to what must have been a step-up transformer. The transformer's secondary operated a neon-filled (U?) tube that extended across all 12 discs, placed behind them, of course. I don't think there was DC bias to keep it close to glowing.
937:
The fork was physically large; its tines were (fairly sure ) several inches long (think of
Rudolph Koenig's tuning-fork clock, in Google Books versions of Ganot's Physics, iirc). Sliding weights varied its frequency slightly. A knob and a scale of cents offset (perhaps +/- 50 cents?) moved the

The original
Strobotuner had an eletronically-sustained tuning fork oscillator; its output was amplified to drive a synchronous motor, which rotated all 12 strobe discs via gearing that had a quite-small theoretical error, relative to exact equal temperament. To minimize cumulative error, two

Yes, Conn deserves his own article, with his bio and appropriate categories. Some of his basic info can stay in this article, as it applies to the origin and development of the company.

I am from
Elkhart, Indiana and was unaware that C.J. Conn recieved the metal of honor as his biography on wikipedia says. It's not cross referenced with this wiki article.

Is anyone currently watching this page? If so, I think we should seperate this article into two. One for C. G. Conn the man and one for the company itself. Just checking.
