The "Four-system Vorsetzer" I saw in Tokyo may be the same thing that
Tom Steuer got at the auction, instead of the another "Four-system
Vorsetzer", I think.

I think the former owner of Tushinsky's collection (including the
Boesendorfer Imperial Grand and about two-thousand rolls)  was
Mr. Tsumura, president of a Japanese pharmacy.  He purchased them
in 1988 or 1989 at Los Angeles, and he brought them to Tokyo.

I can't remember the detail of it's mechanism, but there is a picture
of it. (It is not clear.)  I'll send you it with this letter.
The serial number of the Boesendorfer Imperial Grand was #9319.

Sorry, I can't write English very fast, so I quit writing for now.
I'll write again later.

Good bye.
