Auto-Typist
By Paul Manganaro

There were some Auto-typists that used "nickelodeon" size rolls.
Does anyone know if the Auto-typist used a standard 11-1/4"
roll?  Did they use six to the inch perforations?

 [ At http://www.officemuseum.com/typewriters_office_special.htm :
 [ "The Auto-Typist, which was introduced in 1927, was produced in the
 [ 1930s by the Schultz Player Piano Co. and later by the American
 [ Automatic Typewriter Co."  Art Reblitz reported that the system used
 [ 11.25" wide paper, punched at 5 holes per inch.  See the articles
