Historic Piano Roll Recording & Production Equipment
By Dan Robinson

Paul Johnson wrote in MMD 230330, "I heard the J. Lawrence Cook
arranging machine was perhaps in a museum in New York State."

Indeed, the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum in North Tonawanda,
New York (the same facility that owns and operates the Wurlitzer
perforators), also has the Acme-built B.A.B. perforator that was used
by Cook, and there are plans to complete the machine's restoration
and produce 8-to-the-inch rolls with it.
