"Basic Hook Up For O Roll", by Adam Lojewski
By Dale F. Rowe

[ Ref. 190723 MMD, Seek Ragtime Automated Music Tubing Schematic

Bill, Greetings from The Bronx.  Attached is a scan of the 'O' roll
instrument tubing schematic that was drawn by Adam Lojewski back in
the early 1970's, or perhaps even earlier.  This same chart was pirated
by a few, whiting out Adam's name, and then inserting their own.

Adam was a machinist by trade, and was instrumental (pardon the pun)
in teaching many how to restore players and their components (even
though these same people have never acknowledged it}.  He was a member
of both AMICA and MBSI.  He was also instrumental in saving many
nickelodeons from the garbage dump by fabricating complete pneumatic
stacks and various other components, even going so far to create jigs
and tools to achieve these feats.

Hope this helps,

D.F. Rowe
