Hi J. L.,  Interesting you should write at this time.  I am currently
rebuilding a Story & Clark for a family in North Jersey.  It has a
rather unique lower section.  The pedals are very different than the
Standard type pedal assembly.  Also, the exhauster bellows are quite
large.  The 'span' is just 5".  About the best I could do for you is
send you a picture or post one at my site (www.playercare.com) but
that may take awhile.

Maybe one of the members of the Mechanical Music Digest has one
laying around collecting dust.  I'll cc: this letter to them at
rolls@foxtail.com.  You can visit their site at www.foxtail.com and
become a member for free.  Then you can really get 'hooked up' with
folks in the know.

Musically, John A. Tuttle
