"Connorized" Music Roll Paper
By Brian Smith

Re: Bill Chapman's post in MMD05.05.25:

It's amazing when these rolls are still playing 100 years later.  But
what I have noticed about Connorized rolls is they tend to be in better
condition than regular Aeolian rolls from the same period.  By far the
worst rolls I have seen are Aeolian 65-note from around 1905.  The paper
is worse than wrapping paper and just falls apart when you touch it.
These are the rolls that should be scanned first because they are
rapidly disappearing!
