Hi everybody, those people who are interested in WWW-documents written in
German language should know the German expressions for "Music Box".
Philippe Rouille (Paris) and I are working on a leaflet, "How To Care For
Your Music Box".  Philippe was the initiator.  We will create a French,
an English and a German version.

Philippe asked me about the correct translation for "Music Box"; the
answer is, there are a few expressions: "Spieluhr", "Spieldose" and/or
"Musikdose".  In the WWW are documents written in German; most from
marketing agents, dealers, auctioneers, collectors or museums.  A search
in the WWW with the Alta Vista search-engine has brought following
results:

    "Spieluhr"  in 73 documents,
    "Spieldose" in 54 documents and
    "Musikdose" in 11 documents.

Don't search for "Musikbox" -- that's a coin-op playerstation for
records (jukebox -- very popular 20 to 40 years ago in pubs).

Yours, Hauke
