Introduction
By Gerard Arkenbout

Everyone Hello

My name is Gerard. C. Arkenbout and I live in Leidschendam near The
Hague in the Netherlands.  I've been interested in historical
instrumentation and electronics.

I am a member of the Museum Committee of  the Physical and Electronics
Laboratory of TNO-FEL in The Hague.  The history of that Laboratory
started in 1927 to support the Netherlands Defence

A former colleague of mine, a specialist in constructions and
mechanics, ask me to meet the people of the automatic-music users
group, while he found the address of the group in the magazine "Het
Pierement" in Holland.  For he also has experience in renovating old
music-boxes and zithers, he is now constructing and copying the 60
string automatic playing Zither "CORDEPHONE" made in Germany.  In the
request part for this user group I will specify an other question
about this instrument.

I will thank Jody for his gracefull meeting for this group.

Bye for now,

Gerard.
