Could you please give more information about the "Princess"
Aeolian instrument?  When did the manufacture of the instrument start,
and whether or not the notice, "The princess Aeolian patented," means
that the instrument was made by Aeolian company.

 [ At http://tardis.dl.ac.uk/FreeReed/organ_book/node24.html 
 [   "Around 1888 he [George Whight] was advertising the self playing
 [   Victolian organ from 225 Regent Street, London.  It turns out
 [   that the Victolian was in fact the Aeolian 'Princess' model."

 [ An early Aeolian "Cabinet" player organ, built by the Mechanical

 [ So when did Aeolian purchase (or license) the patent and begin
 [ building the "Princess" 46-note player organ in an Aeolian factory?
