Kaps "Panzer System" With Autopiano Player
By Jon Polden

I came across a player piano in a barn full of old artefacts in
East London (UK).  One item was an Autopiano by Ernst Kaps of
Dresden, #33183, using the "Panzer System".  It looked quite
presentable considering the conditions in which it was displayed.
There were also a few rolls in a box, including one of music by
Elton John in a QRS box.

I have searched the MMD Archive for any information relating to
Ernst Kaps products and especially the Panzer System without success.
Can anyone provide me with some more details?
