[John Ross]

What comes to my mind about Wurlitzer, is some of the great concert organs 
they made.
Here is a sample

They also made player harps, and later juke boxes too.
Schultz, a maker of player mechanisms, went on to
pneumatically operated typewriters, and is still in business,
I think, making pneumatic machinery of various sorts. Edward
Link, meanwhile, used two geared together (player, attached
photo) pneumatic roll drive motors to operate the Link Flight
Trainer used in WWII.

Jack probably can do six hours worth of this without notes.
