Steinway & Sons, bting the only thlrmnkcrs who manufacture “ every portion” of thein- strument, including all ‘the metal parts, were honored with an additional Medal and Diploma of Merit for “the surpassing excellence” of their Machinery-Hall exhibit, upon the follow- ing unanimous oflicial reportof the same judges: % Steinway & Sons exhibit in ¢Machinery Hall? snmlflcs of Metal Parts and Hardware, ‘and Full Metal Frumes of Grand, Square, an Upricht Pianos; aivo, samples of their Patent Metallic Tubular Frame Actions,all produced at their foundry and metal works at Astoria, Long Island. ~SiThese articles of composite metal show the highest perfection of finish and workmanship, and the_grestest firmness and uniformity of metal structure, a steel-like and sounding uality with a tenefle strength exceeding 5,000 s per squarc ccntimetre, a8 demoustrated by actual tests.
