I went out on a service call Monday, to an English-manufactured
Farrand upright, with an Aeolian player in it.  What I found unusual
was the tracker bar.

Above the middle 16 tracker holes were pairs of long, thin vertically-
oriented holes.  The owner said she found a date of 1914 for manu-
facture.  Does anyone know the use of these odd holes?  Perhaps suction
could be applied in reroll, to act as a brake.
