Duo-Art Motor Running Continuously
By Jeffrey R. Wood

A professional man, living alone, owns a fine vintage Steinway Duo-art
grand, restored and regulated to perfection.  He is about to depart for
a weekend getaway in a far-off place; his bags are packed and he has
just enough time to enjoy a newly-acquired Duo-Art roll once more
before leaving.

Right in the middle of the music, the phone rings.  He shoves the
Tempo lever to zero and runs to answer the phone.  A crisis at the
office.  Can he swing by for just a few minutes on his way to the
airport?  Yes, and off he rushes, forgetting all about the Duo-Art
with its electric motor still running.

No notes are playing; in fact, all tracker bar ports are covered except
those for intensities 2 and 8 on the accompaniment side.  There's no
one around now; the housekeeper is away too, all doors are locked up
tight, and the Duo-Art remains out-of-sight and out-of-mind for the
entire weekend.

What do you think the man will find when he returns home two or three
days later?
