Constant Tension Brake for Roll Supply Spool
By Ken Vinen

What you describe in the 001105 MMD is virtually the exact brake system
used in the Ampico "B" player.  Due to the 'jumbo' rolls, slippage was
a problem even before slick paper.  Enjoyed your message.

Ken Vinen, Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
