Piano Hammers Impelled by Rotating Drum
By Joyce Brite 

Concerning Rick Pargeter's post describing a player piano turned by a
crank.  I saw a piano similar to the one he described in Vienna,
Austria, only this one was made by Gustav Reisler.  Maybe some MMD'er
can provide more information concerning these cranked player pianos.
