Star Perforator
By Matthew Caulfield

When Ed Gaida says of the Star perforator, "It was one hell of a
way to make a player piano roll," does he mean to say it was a good
way or a bad way?  The expression "hell of a way" can have either
interpretation.

I'd like to know more about how it was to use the Star, as opposed
to using a Leabarjan perforator.
