available player piano advice.

[Alan Forsyth]

Wow TEN pneumatics! That should give a smooth ride. Must be 5 a side which 
is the equivalent to a V10 motor a la Formula 1 style.

Terminology is completely daft sometimes; the motor winds the roll, except 
in Florida where it would just roll in the winds! Sorry to wind you up. Oh, 
and talking of wind, I must go..............

I suppose there's no chance of getting the terminology changed; no point in 
farting against thunder.
