I am surprised George did not respond to this.  The last time I heard
from him, a couple of years ago, he is or was working on pipe organs
and no longer doing the Mechanical Music Co.

I think he worked for Player Piano Co. at one time, making Wurlitzer
valves and various other parts in his home.  I visited with him in the
mid 1970s at his home.  In his basement he made the player piano parts
with his wife, Jill, to whom he is no longer married.
