"Blowin' in the Wind", a study about flute players automaton, by
Philippe Crasse.  For automaton fans only?  Not only!  Positively,
a collector's item such as the large flute player automaton merits
further consideration.

With a teaser to solve in this story, we are not bored.  Have a close
relationship with manufacturers from the 19th and discover what seems
to be an injustice...  The book is available at
