Unknown Tunes on "A" Roll No. 50276
By Terry Smythe

Within my archival preservation project I have recently scanned a group
of style "A" nickelodeon rolls.  Within them is a damaged roll with
a substitute leader and a handwritten roll number: 50276.  The number
suggests it may have been a Peerless roll.  The manner of tune
numbering indicates the roll was intended to be spooled from the
bottom-up and outside-out.  The roll's 10-tunes are themselves all in
good condition and scanned very well.  All ten tunes are unknown to me.

Would appreciate it if somebody might be able to help me identify this
roll, its manufacturer, and its tune titles.  I will provide MIDI files
of all 10 tunes to help in this process.
