Ehrlich Crank Organ Plays Paper Discs
By Jim Rapheld

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMDigest --

I have come across a crank organ that plays hard paper discs of about
11-inch diameter.  The discs are all marked "Ehrlich's Patent Brevete
S.G.D.G."  It is not working and I would very much like to find someone
who has some pictures of this type machine and any information related
to it.

Thanks
