Street Organ Power
By Philip Jamison

I've never seen a street organ in Holland turned by hand except for
special occasions or in museums.  The standard power seems to be a
small Honda generator which operates an electric motor.  This drives
the large flywheel via a cloth belt.  This belt is flexible enough to
conform to the curved flywheel.  I've never seen this type of belt for
sale in the U.S., by the way.
