seven o'clock the Jurymen assembled at the Hospital, and examined all
the bodies of the deceased persons who lay in Elizabeth's Ward. Having
uncovered the bodies, and ascertained the number killed, they retired to
the Steward's Office, where the relations of the deceased who were owned
were examined.
Mr. Wilson, who resides in Gerrard-street, Soho, came forward, and said,
he knew Thomas Bradford, he was one of those victims; was aged about 16;
was pupil to a [a] Mr. Brodrip [sic], a
piano-forte-maker, in Sherrard-street, Golden-square. Witness said he

of Mr. Steele persisted in their innocence. It is with pain we record
the melancholy consequences of the curiosity which this execution
excited. 20,000 persons, at least, were supposed to be present. Owing to
the immense pressure of the crowd, some fell, and others tumbled over
them; till there were two or three heaps of persons in this situation,
all struggling with each other to extricate themselves. It was full half
an hour before effectual assistance could be given. Besides several
persons who were taken away in carts, desperately hurt, the following is
a statement of those killed and wounded. In St. Bartholomew's Hospital,

OBITUARY
1917 - "Death of Lieut. Brasted. - We regret to
announce the death on military service of Lieut. Frederick Elliott Brasted,
of Messrs. H. F. & R. A. Brasted, of Clapton. The late Lieut. Brasted was
born on December 19th, 1881. He started his business career as a partner in
the firm of H. F. & R A. Brasted, together with his three brothers, eleven
years ago, during which period he, with striking success, administered the
financial and office department of the firm. At certain periods he travelled
a little to make the acquaintance of the clients of the firm, thereby adding
to the great number of friends he already possessed. He started his military
career as a private in the Honorable Artillery Company during the first
month of the great war, serving almost throughout 1915 in Flanders,
principally at Ypres.

OBITUARY
(continuation)
During this period he was always cheerful, and his many
letters home bear witness to a very striking fortitude under the most trying
conditions. He was slightly wounded in the scalp by shrapnel, and was very
subject to sciatica and rheumatism brought on through exposure. In november,
1915, he returned to England as a second lieutenant of the Essex Regiment,
and was on special duties in various parts of England until his return to
the front on July 30th, 1917. In the meantime he had been promoted to first
lieutenant. He was wounded on Aug. 15th at 2.30 during a bombing
demonstration given by Major Hickox, M.C., to his platoon, through a
premature bomb which caused ten casualties, of whom Major Hickox, M.C.,
Lieut. Brasted, and two privates succumbed to their wounds. Lieut. Brasted
died on August 18th, after having written a letter to his brothers, which,
by its firm handwriting and brave words, bears witness to the great spirit
he possessed."

1911 - "Surely
Mr. Chas. Briennie's show rooms at High Street, Camden Town, are commanding
looking and as handsome as any similar London premises. And the stock ?
Well, it is one of the largest to be seen; last week it included pianos by
Chappell, Cramer, Collard, many by Hopkinson, others by Brinnie, Obermeier
and Görs & Kallmann, and also a Bell Organ. Tjough many of our readers who
know the above gentlemean would not think so, it is a fact that he has been
established in business for thirty-six yeras."

"Brinsmead, John, fondateur de la fabrique

(North-Devon) le 18 oct. 1814, s'établit en 1835 et prit, en 1863, ses deux
fils, Thomas et Edgard, comme associés. Le cadet Edgard B. écrivit une
histoire du piano (1868, refondue en 1879)."

"PIANOFORTES. - J. BRINSMEAD having made important
improvements in the mechanism of Cabinet and Cottage Pianofortes, combining
elegance, durability, power, richness of tone, and pleasantness of touch,
adapted for the most rapid execution. J. B. begs an inspection, which will
prove that his Instruments stand unrivalled, and will be sold for less than
two thirds the price usually charged by Makers.

"THE ONLY MEDAL AWABDED FOE IMPROVEMENTS IN
ACTION AND GENERAL — EXCELLENCE OF PIANOS. - JOHN BRINSMEAD
Begs respectfully to call the attention of tho Nobility, Gentry, and Public
to his PIANOFORTES exhibited in the International Exhibition, Class 16; more
particularly to the perfect check repeating Grand and Upright Pianos, as
patented by him in February, 1862. The characteristic of this action is its
very raid repeat, the chack acting with slightest movement of the key - an
advantage long desired, but until now unattained. The aqually balanced
arrangement of metal and wood in construction case expressly adapts them to
meet the requirements of extreme climates.

Patent of 1827 : "To James Shudi Broadwood, of Great Pulteney Street, Golden
Square, in the parish of Street James, Westminster, in the county of Middlesex,
Pianoforte Maker, for his invention of certain improvements in the Grand
Pianoforte. — (Sealed 9th April, 1827.] The objects of the improvements
which form the subject of this patent are to give strength to the framing of
a grand piano forte, in order that the tension of the strings may be more
effectually preserved under variation in the temperture of the atmosphere.
Round the curved side of the frame of the grand piano it is proposed that a
metallic plate shall be fixed, to be called the string plate, into which the
hitch pins are set, for the ends of the strings to be fastened to. This
plate, which forms the first suggested improvement, is placed some distance
above the sounding board, and is made fast to the side of the wood frame by
very strong screws.
The frame work is further braced by metal rods extending from end to end of
the machine, three of which have been employed before for that purpose; but
a fourth is now proposed to be applied toward the base side of the
instrument. It is fastened at each end, and supported in the middle by a
perpendicular piece, which passes through an aperture in the sounding board,
and is made fast to the bottom of the frame.—[Inrolled in the Inrolment
Office in Chancery, October, 1827.]"

"The following account, with which I was favoured in a private letter
from Mr. James Broadwood, is, 1 apprehend, more authentic. "If by the
celebrated Shroeter, mentioned in the Belle Assembled as having invented the
piano-forte iu 1717, the late composer for the piano-forte and first elegant
performer on that instrument is meant, the article must be incorrect, as he
only died about twenty years ago, aged about 58.
"The first maker of the Grand Piano Forte was H. Baccers, a Dutchman, who,
in 1772, invented nearly the mechanism, by which it is distinguished from
the instrument with that name made in Germany."
"From the improvement by the English makers, particularly by my father John
Broadwood, who was the first nativeol this 1 sland that attempted the
business (before, exclusively, carried on by Germans and Flemings), it may
be claimed as a British instrument, from its capacity of tone, extent of
compass, superior in effect to every instrument of the reed kind made on the
Continent."

1865 -
"The English manufacturers long maintained the highest reputation in this
branch. The extent of the piano manufacture in England may be inferred from
the fact that the entire number of piano-fortes of all kinds manufactured by
the Messrs. Broadwood from 1771 to 1851 was 103,750, of which number 60,382
were made from the year 1824 to 1850, an average of 2,236 per annum. [...]
The result is seen, among other things, in an extension of the compass of
the piano, and has been followed by an increase of the price of first-class
instruments, with a corresponding reduction in those of humbler
construction. Thus Broadwood & Son's first-rate concert grands, which in
1851 sold for 175 guineas, commanded 250 guineas each in 1862, in
consequence of improved construction, while small uprights of full compass
were sold in 1862 at less than £20 each."

Manufactures ..., 1865, p. 148

"Messrs. Broadwood have recently supplied one of their
newly-introduced iron-framed upright pianofortes for the use of His Royal
Highness the Duke of York. The instrument was placed on board H.M.S.
Melampus, and His Royal Highness has signified his approval of the piano in
glowing terms."

"Broadwood, the inventor of
the barless steel frame, in 1894. W. C. Dobbs, a grandson of Henry Fowler
Broadwood, was admitted to partnership in the same year. Thus six

"Broadwood and Sons, célèbre fabrique de pianos à
Londres, fondée en 1732 par un immigrant suisse, Burkhard Tschudi (Shudi),
dont les harpsichords furent vite renommes; on peut encore en voir des
exemplaires aux chateaux de Windsor et de Potsdam. Tschudi eut comme
associé, puis comme successeur, son gendre John Broadwood qui etait ébeniste
de son metier. La « mecanique anglaise » du piano construite en premier lieu
en 1770 par Americus Backers qui, à sa mort, en 1781, la recommanda à
Broadwood, n'est autre qu'un perfectionnement de celle de
Christofori-Silbermann (v. Piano). John Broadwood (né en 1732) mourut en
1812; il eut pour successeurs James Shudi et Thomas Broadwood, puis
Henry-Fowler Broadwood, qui mourut le 10 juil. 1893. La fabrique a pris peu
a peu une extension considerable, en sorte que plusieurs milliers
d'instruments sortent chaque anuee des ateliers B."

"In musical instruments, we this year observe an
improvement, announcement by Messrs. Longman and Broderip, in the barrel
organ. This instrument is so improved, as that by uniting the harp stop, it
produces the effect of a band, and therefore is particularly calculated for
private families and country dances. Those gentlemen have also advertised an
improvement on the small Piano Forte; in which are introduced fix additional
notes, without enlarging the fize of the instrument. The additional notes
have fine harmony sounds."

"Broderip & Wilkinson. Broderip, who
was without doubt Robert Broderip, the musician, organist at Bristol,
and son of John Broderip, of Wells, had been partner in the great firm
of Longman and Broderip, which came to grief some time about 1798. This
firm had two places of business, one at 26, Cheapside, and the other at
13, Haymarket. Longman founded another business at the Cheapside
address, while Broderip entering into partnership with Wilkinson took
over the Haymarket premises. Broderip and Wilkinson are first-named in
the Directory for 1799 and retain a place till 1808. In 1809, the firm
is set down as Wilkinson & Co., and it seems evident that Broderip was
dead; after 1810 this disappears."

Browne - UPRIGHT IRON GRAND PIANOS. - Specialty - vertical & overstrung -

with a coating for condensing and neutralizing the metallic tone produced by
Iron String Frames. Improved Iron String Frames, cast in one piece from iron
carefully analysed and tested to stand a tensile strain of 12 tons to the
square inch. Exhibit No. 3648, Music Gallery."

"Justin
Browne [...] The Iron String Frames used in the Justin
Browne Upright Iron Grand Pianos are made and applied on exactly the same
principles as the Iron String Frames in the best Horizontal Iron Grand
Pianos. This system, which extends over the whole of the Sounding-Boards,
and is carried to the top of the Wrest Planks, has been adopted in the
Justin Browne Upright Iron Grand Pianos for many years, and the great
superiority of this principle of construction has lately been recognized and
partly applied by several other makers.
This special application to the Justin Browne Upright Iron Grand Pianos
prevents the forward pull over of the Wrest Planks, and consequent bending
of the bracings, and owing to the prevention of which these Pianos stand so
much better in tune than other Upright Iron Grand Pianos not made on this
system."

BUNDY William |
Patent of 1811 : "April 24, 1811. —
William Bundy. Bass pianoforte-strings covered with platina or other
metal to produce powerful sounds by vibration."
The History of the Pianoforte, Edgard Brinsmead,
1879, p. 161 (archive.org) - or - "Mr.
William Bundy's Patent for an Improvement on Musical Stringed
Instruments. Dated April 24-th, 1811.—Repertory of Arts, No. 114, Second
Series.
Mr. Bundy states, that, to produce the most powerful sounds by the
vibration of strings, they should be of the greatest specific gravity
and elasticity, therefore the strings of piano-fortes, and other
metallic stringed instruments, will be improved in proportion to the
quantity of those requisites applied to compose such strings. The
material commonly used for strings, of the upper noLes particularly,
being of the greatest elasticity, combined with strength, only requires
an increase of specific gravity to improve ihein, which may be effected
by entwining them with a metal, or composition of metals, drawn into
wire, whose specific gravity is considerably more than that of the
covered strings; gold will apply well, but platina is used (being of the
greatest specific gravity). The power and purity of the tone is
increased with the quantity used of this heavy metal, and the strength
of the string covered must determine that quantity; for if too much
platina be added, the string will not stand drawing up to its proper
tension. The notes FF and FF sharp, when 57 and 56 inches long, from
guidepin to bridge-pin, made of brass wire, weighing 15| grains to the
foot, will carry, on each inch of its length, 24 rounds of platina wire,
weighing one grain for excry inch and quarter of its length. The sizes
of wire for the following notes to decrease uniformly, so that the wire
for GG, weighing 13 grains the foot, will carry cbvei ing wire of
three-fourths of an inch the grain.
The G above, weighing 11 grains the foot, to be covered with wire 2 inches
to the grain.
The G above, weighing 9 ½ grains the foot, to be covered with wire 3 inches
to the grain.
The G above, weighing 7 ½ grains the foot, to be covered with wire 4 ½
inches to the grain.
The G above, weighing 7 grains the foot, to be covered with wire 5 inches to
the grain.
The G above, weighing 6 grains the.foot, to be covered with wire 6 inches to
the grain.
All to be covered with 12 rounds to the inch.
|
'Pianoforte-maker' ?? ca. 1811
(continuation)
The string to be covered is made rough by drawing a hastard-cut file along
it several limes, and the covering platina wire is forced into the indents
made by the file, which renders it perfectly secure, though the ends
terminate within the pins, and avoids clogging the vibration, by the
continuance of the covering wire beyond the pins, as hitherto practised.
Strings made of animal substance, as gut or silk, have their power of
vibration much increased by being covered with platina wire, instead of wire
of inferior specific gravity, though tue weight of the metal covering be
equal, from the advantage of its decreased bulk, compared with other
metals. As it may be difficult to draw platina wire fine enough forcovering
a fourth string of a violin closely, the wire used is 6i inches to the
grain, wrapped 100 rounds on each inch of string. A second string, covered
closely with platina wire of four inches to the grain, would make an
excellent fifth string. A first string, covered with platina wire, of 6 ½ inches per grain, 60 rounds in the inch, would make an improved third
string. The strings of a tenor, violoncello, double hass, harp, &c. are
improved by covering with platina wire the same weight as commonly used of
metal.
Observations. — Mr. Bundy seems not to know that all the strings of the
piano, &c., except a few of the lowest, have already as great a tension as
the wires will bear,, without too great a risk of their breaking, and
therefore, if weight be added, they must be shortened to make them yield the
same notes; and if they are shortened, their elasticity will be abridged,
and the quality of the tone very much injured. So far from the upper strings
requiring an increase of specific gravity to improve them, the very reverse
is the fact; for could we find a metal of equal strength with iron, but with
half the specific gravity, the upper notes of piano-fortes might be made
much longer, and consequently the tones rendered much finer than can be done
with the present material,
Mr. Bundy's improvement, if it may be so called, is applicable solely to the
bass strings of musical instruments."

1890 - "We regret to state that a large
portion of the tools belonging to the employees of Messrs. Burling &
Burling were stolen on the night of February 19th, and, as yet, no clue
has been obtained. How the thieves entered the factory is a mystery.
Some conjecture that one of them might have obtained access to the mill
room, keeping in hiding until the "time for action" arrived; others
think that the thieves may have secreted themselves in the house
adjoining the factory, - lately acquired by the firm, and now connected
by passages and a foot bridge to the main building. The goods stolen
were so heavy in weight - being iron planes and other quite expensive
tools that the burglars were compelled to leave a portion behind them.
As it is, the men have lost nearly forty pounds' worth of valuable
tools, and we understand that a subscription has just been started by
their fellow journeymen connected with other factories. Calling, lately,
for news, one of the partners, besides giving us information concerning
the robbery, took us over the extensive factory, introducing us to the
additional floor which has been added, showing us how, by the annexing
of the adjoining premises, the part makers, the stringers, the
polishers, the back makers, the fitters up, &c., have now a room each to
themselves. All the departments appear to be conducted upon economic
principles, -for instance, there are various machines in the mill room,
one of which prepared the cheeks in a most expeditious way, whilst
another machine produced falls made to the required shape in a few
minutes. Speaking as to the prospects of the home trade, we were
informed that the firm's "Early English Model" (made in walnut and in
rosewood) was still in large demand; and as to the state of trade for
export, -well, the men in the packing room were busy with soldering
irons, lining half a dozen cases in which pianofortes were to be
concealed from view for a period of five or six weeks."
