Music Roll Spools With Square Drive Hole
By Richard Vance

Yesterday, Jack Conway mentioned some unidentified organ rolls:


>> ... He had some Wilcox White organ rolls and some rolls that
>> looked similar to Aeolian 58-note organ rolls but had square
>> hole drive and played from bottom to top.


These are Story and Clark organ rolls, made by QRS.  Since the
Pianola hadn't been introduced when these rolls first came out,
there is normally no indication on the label that they are for
the organ; just saying "The QRS Company, Chicago, Ill. U.S.A.".
