I'm just curious as to how many of these where made, as I have only seen
the one (Melville Clark) and I have it here out of a stripped piano.
You can view it if you like at:

(Actually it's in Robbie's "History of the Player Piano" article
- check it out, Rob!)
My question is just out of interest on how many may have been produced
and if they're common or rare. They are certainly a well-engineered motor
and governor.
I wonder if it would have enough grunt to run an Ampico (interesting
train of thought).
