Carousel in Vienna Rotates Clockwise
By Claus Kucher

Hi Bette,  Just to tell you that the only old-style 'carousel' at the
Viennese "Wurstelprater" (with a 'Moelzer' band organ, operated by real
horses pulling coaches and the carousel - but not the instrument)
rotates _clockwise_.  About two or three years ago it was refurbished
and now everything is in good condition.

If you or someone at MMD would like to have some pictures, I can take
them with my digital camera (1280 x 960 pixels resolution) and post it
by email-attachment.  :-)

 [ Please send me some photos, Claus, to <editor@foxtail.com>, for the
 [ MMD web site.  Maybe we should start a carousel page!  And please
 [ inquire about the history and construction of the carousel.  In
 [ which country was the mechanism built?  ;)  -- Robbie
