Unknown Player System in German Player Piano
By Ed Smith, Europe

I found a German player piano but I have no idea whose player action
it has.  On the fallboard is "Franz Breite - Tetschen a/Elbe".  The 
tracker bar has 85 holes in 340 mm (6.35 holes per inch) or 4 mm per
hole.  There is no name on the sound board or the two-tier stack, only
an award from 1923 on the sound board.

Can anyone tell me what I found?  Photos are available.

All the best,
Ed Smith, Europe
