Autopianos and Battleship Row
By Harvey Roehl

Ever wondered what our Navy's sailors had for entertainment back in
the 'teen's and '20's?  This scene and the back side of it reveal all !

 [ The postcard says, "The 1912 mobilization of the Atlantic fleet in
 [ the Hudson River -- Over 70 Autopianos are in use on United States
 [ and Foreign War Vessels".  See http://mmd.foxtail.com/Pictures/
