Strange English Aeolian Tracker Bar
By Spencer Chase

The strange English (Isn't that redundant?) tracker bar that Jeff Davis
mentions probably had the thin holes connected to a tracking device.

The holes will be evenly uncovered by the central notes when tracking
properly.  When the roll shifts one way or the other, the narrow holes
on the side opposite to the wander will be covered.  This difference is
used to operate a "balanced bleed" type tracker device.
