Piano-Lodeon Rollography Update
By Jack M. Conway

Hi Group,  After submitting the information from my Piano-Lodeon Roll
order form Jack Breen reminded us that he had rolls in the Group P
series.  This caused me to check my rolls and I found I had Group P and
Group F rolls.  Ed Sprankle had offered a copy of his roll order form
so I sent for it.  Ed's order form is latter than mine and includes
Group F, Group G, and Group H rolls.

I have added these to the rollography along with the known Group P
rolls and hope it will encourage others to look at their Piano-Lodeon
rolls or roll order forms and see if there is a Group I, J, K, L,
M, N, and O.  Also to see if anyone has P-4 and P-8 through P-12.
I am assuming that there is a P-8 through P-12 by following the
previous pattern unless they skipped P-4 and issued a six roll series
ending in P-7.

Let's see if we can complete this list.
