K608 is I think called a "Fantasy for Mechanical Clock Organ" in English.
There was an 88-note roll of it made by QRS for Rex Lawson's Perforetur
series.  Sooner or later this will be available from Universal Music
Rolls (Mike Boyd) at Rye.  Lasts about 9 minutes.  I believe the original
clock had a spiral barrel to accommodate this.

Note to Robbie: I see we're getting umlauts now.  Do these French
accents come through too ?  [ -snip snip-  Yes, but see the following ]
That's what my Windows character map gives me here.
