Scotty,  I have a rollography data base for style "A", "G", "4X",
"H" and "O" rolls.  I will be glad to give you a copy.  However,
you do need Microsoft "Access" to run it.  If you don't have "Access"
I'll be happy to identify any roll if you give me the names of several
tunes along with their position on the roll (for example, tune 1, tune
2, etc.).

For original Clark and Automatic rolls, the roll numbers are generally
written at the very end of the roll, near where it attaches to the
core.  This number is the most helpful, but at least one tune should
be identified so that I can tell whether it is a Clark or an Automatic
roll of the same number.  Automatic "A" rolls generally have an "A"
prefix to the catalog number, whereas Clark rolls have numbers only to
indicate an "A" roll.
