Leaf-Turner. (open access)

Leaf-Turner.

Patent for a new and improved leaf turner which allows the piano player to turn the pages of their sheet music without taking their hands off the keyboard. This leaf turner is "noiseless and efficient in operation and...will respond instantly to the actuating impulse" (lines 21-23). It is not expensive to make, and securely holds music and releases it without effort.
