Nota:
Offprint from 'Machines et inventions approuvées par l'Academie Royale des Sciences, depuis son établissement jusqu'à present; avec leur description' Vol.5 (Paris, 1735)
from Albert Cohen, Music in the French Royal Academy of Sciences (Princeton, 1981): "In 1727, Thevenard, a builder from Bordeaux, proposed a novel harpsichord jack, in which the tongue and plectrum were of a single piece of molded copper or brass, capable of falling back by itself."
The book from which these pages are taken reports on all kinds of new inventions in machinery (mostly non-musical).
