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.
