    Givens, Larry, Re-Enacting the Artist: A Story of the Ampico Reproducing Piano. Vestal, NY: Vestal Press, 1970.

    We need to look up a page number for a Journal article.
    Also, anyone have access to Scientific American, Nov 1927?

    thanks!

    How much time do you have? You could use ILL finding it on worldcat.org . If you don't have fast access to that, I can get it for you. Just let me know.

    You might check out the Mechanical Music Digest group and see if you can get your question answered there.

    A SciAm that old would probably be on microfilm at a university's science or engineering departments' libraries.
