Widths of Music Rolls
By Jim Crank

Referring to Spencer Chase's posting about wide player rolls and
the advisability of enlarging his scanner, the extra-wide [organ]
rolls that Spencer is asking about are

  Austin = 21-1/4" (not available),
  Aeolian Duo-Art = 15-1/4",
  Welte Philharmonic = 15-1/4",
  Kimball Welte = 15-1/4",
  Skinner = 10-1/8" (undersized),
  Wurlitzer R = 16-7/8",

plus any orchestrion roll wider than standard piano rolls.
