I have seen this also on an early Steinway Pianola, a 1914 German
Hamburg model, if this is of interest.  This is the only example
I have seen.  It took me some time to work out the idea of how it
worked, which it must have, otherwise Steinway would not have used it.
I have a late model Duo-Art grand 1932, also an upright Ampico Knabe
1928, as well as an extensive collection of gramophones, phonographs
and a large vintage wireless collection.
Thanks for the great work you are doing.  How am I able to contribute
to the cause?
Regards.
