Welte Orchestrion in Frick Mansion
By Harvey Roehl

The PBS video about Andrew Carnegie showed the Welte orchestrion in
the Frick mansion.  There are several pages in Bowers' Encyclopedia
on this subject, and a specific reference to Frick is made on page 642.
I do not know if the one on that page is precisely like the on the
video, but it's awfully close.

I suspect that this machine is maintained by Durward Center in
Baltimore as he is the big expert on the subject in this country.
