Abstract: This invention relates to a method of annoucing a low level of the remaining liquid in a dropper. According to the present invention, two electrodes are attached to the outer surface of a dropper, and a pulse of a stable level is applied to one of these electrodes. The remaining quantity of the liquid in the dropper can be detected automatically with ease by utilizing the variations of the electrostatic capacity occurring between these two electrodes. An annunciator is activated when it receives a signal representative of a low level of the liquid in the dropper, to inform a nurse of the necessity of replacing the dropper.

Abstract: This invention relates to pipe organs using tracker action and more particularly, to an improved such pipe organ having a separate wind-chest and sound-board fixed so that the air efflux from the valves of the wind-chest flows through flexible pipes and is delivered to the pipes supported on the sound-board.
