Hello,  I received an email from Mr. Lee Hulko about Wurlitzer "RJ"
player rolls.  The set we have here with the Rainbow Room Wurlitzer
in Rahway, New Jersey, are type "R" rolls that came from Mr. Fred
Beeks.  I don't know if they will help in your project.

We also have some original Wurlitzer rolls in metal cans.  I don't
know what type they are.  Is there a way to identify them as to what
type they are?

Let me know if I can help.

 [ If the paper in the can is 16-7/8 inches wide then it's an original
 [ Wurlitzer "R" roll in its original tin can.  The 12-inch-wide style
 [ "RJ" rolls are stored in two-piece boxes similar to piano roll
 [ boxes.
