Racing Mechanisms In Pianos
By Philip Edwards

Hi, I have photo's of the National Automatic Music Co. that I restored
that features the complete functional original greyhound race mechanism
in it.  They also had horses and dancing dolls in their pianos, according
to the Encyclopedia.  I did have photo's of it on the museum website, but
uploading all those photo's took too much time.  They are all on the
computer, so I can send them along two or three at a time.

I would like to take this as another opportunity to ask, beg, for any
information, documents, people that may have extra National rolls,
photographs, and anyone who knows ANYONE out there that also has this
piano AND race mechanism!  (BESIDES the photographs in the "Player Piano
Treasury" and "Put Another Nickel In").

If you would like the photo's let me know how I could get them to you.
