Broderip & Wilkinson Residential Barrel Organ Pictures
By Craig Smith

Jim,

Here is a picture of a residential organ that I restored a few years
ago.  It has a triangle and a drum, but I can't tell you who made it.
Like yours that you described in yesterday's MMD, it had makeshift
mechanisms for the percussion.  But fortunately I was able to borrow an
exact match and manufacture a copy, which works very well.

I do have many more pictures that I can send you, if it looks like it
would match your machine.  Just let me know.

  [ The picture attached to the e-mail is very interesting.  Robbie
  [ will add it to the "MMD Gallery" when he gets back from vacation.
  [ Meanwhile, I encourage Craig to send the rest of the photos,
  [ peferably no more than 5 per e-mail (they are large) to the
  [ editor's account:   editor-1201@mmdigest.com.geentroep [delete .geentroep]
  [
  [ I'd like to remind evereyone submitting articles that the
  [ software "machinery" that gathers the text from the "rolls" account
  [ into the Digest doesn't know how to handle attachments at all.
  [ Mail with attachments MUST be sent to the editor's account in insure
  [ they don't get garbled or completely lost.   We know this
  [ is a pain, but there's a lot of programming involved to fix it.  --Jody
