Responding to Tom Hutchinson's Wangerin note in yesterday's MMD, this
is the information I was given about Wangerin:

    "Wangerin organ player:

    "Roll 11 1/4" wide, spaced 9 to the inch.
        1 Blank
        2 Chimes
        3-11 Combinations
        12-15 Blank
        16-76 61 playing notes
        77 Swell closed
        78-86 Swell shades open
        87 Blank
        88 Rewind

    "Wangerin was located in Milwaukee and built good quality organs.
    The case of the roll player was defiantly manufactured by Wangerin
    as it is the same style as their consoles.  Many were installed on
    top of consoles.  If they were a stand alone, they just added legs
    to the unit that was installed on top of the console.

    "As for the guts of the unit, it may have been ordered from a
    player piano supply house and fitted with their own pneumatic and
    contact assembly.  I can't say for sure, but that's what it looks
    like.

    "Wangerin also manufactured parts and in some cases complete organs
    for Barton when the Barton factory became too busy to fill their
    orders."
