Wind Motor in Beckwith Player Piano
By Alan Wallace

Hello,  I am restoring a Beckwith player.  The governor for the wind
motor is quite different than the various examples I have seen in
books and web sites.  It has a very small pneumatic within the larger
pneumatic.  It seems easy enough to measure and duplicate.

I do wonder (as I have learned things are not always as they seem)
if  I need to watch out for anything special on this type of governor.
Advice will be appreciated!
