Wallace Kent has ruled in favor of a resident of Sweden who claims V-M corporation of Benton Harbor infringed upon a patented automatic record player.

He claimed he was issued a patent July 28, 1942, for playing a plurality of records in succession. He further contended the defendant manufactured and sold more than five million infringing devices.
