Music Roll Hole Dimensions
By Doug Anderson

In my box of Leabarjan parts I have a 65-note scale, an 88-note
scale, a 76-note scale, and an 88-note scale with an additional five
shallow teeth at each end of the scale, besides the scale on the
machine.  However, I only have punches for the small holes, probably
1/8", and the small rectangular holes.

My question is, how many different hole sizes and shapes are common
in mechanical music without visiting the obscure?

My Leabarjan may be technologically archaic, and painfully slow
(punching one hole at a time) but also seemingly quite versatile in
nature, and I'd like any input I can get.  Thank you, ahead of time,
for any and all responses.
