A few years ago, a piano technician friend of mine was tearing down an old piano. When he removed the plate and exposed the pinblock, he found pencil drawings of a horse and buggy. Several of us have seen these drawings, as he has saved this pinblock. We have concluded that this was the work of a child laborer fantasizing about how someday he would have a set of "wheels", just like young boys today fantasize about their first car! Whereas today a factory worker on his lunch break might look over a parking lot full of cars, this young person was probably looking out onto the street during his lunch break. Talk about windows in time! Carol Beigel
