Rack & Pinion Tempo Control
By John A. Tuttle

Hi All,  Has anyone ever seen this gear before?  According to Dave
Lennard [DL Piano Works, Illinois], it's part of the Tempo control in
an Ampico A drawer.  He said he thought it was made out of some sort
of plastic, but it looks more like pot metal to me...

Musically,
