Parker
inventor / patent holder (player piano mechanism)
Biography
Parker is named by Dolge, together with White, as co-holder of a player-piano patent referred to as the "White-Parker" patent. Dolge compares the White-Parker approach with Edwin Votey's, noting that the three inventors worked, at the same time, along entirely different mechanical lines to achieve the same goal of automating piano performance. No further identifying or biographical detail (including a given name) is provided in the text.
