I want to make sure everyone is aware of the fantastic wealth of
perforator information that has been published in the latest AMICA
bulletin.  Robin Pratt deserves MAJOR kudos for seeing that this
fascinating information made it to print.  Nowhere is there more detailed
information available on music roll perforators!  The recollections of
Don Rand alone are worth the price of admission - he always tells the
best stories anyway, and here he gives us his unique perspective on a
number of the perforators that are currently in use by himself and others
around the world.

Also published are many photos of Don's perforators, including the
high-speed RECORDING perforator he owns, which is the only known
surviving real-time recording perforator (as opposed to QRS's equally
fascinating Melville Clark marking piano).

Finally, Robin included 36+ pages of patent drawings, J. Lawrence Cook
hand-written correspondence, and vintage roll company letters, brochures,
etc.  Well done, Robin!  Thank you very much!
