Small Organ Blower
By Bob Baker

In response to Dave Smith's request for a used organ blower of 1/4
to l/2 HP, it would be most useful to know the number of cubic feet
of wind per minute he requires at 4" to 6" of static pressure.

One very well known tourist attraction in Wisconsin uses a series
of surplus Xerox Ametek Windjammer blowers to wind the various pipes
of disassembled Mortier cafe organs.  These used Ametek Windjammer
blowers are fairly hardy in this non-continuous service application.

One should be certain to start up each blower outside (using the
proper starting capacitor), since the first start-up of a used
photocopier blower produces a lot of built-up black toner.

Minstrel show re-enactors should take note!
