[pianotech] Wind motor in player piano

[Alan Forsyth]

Except there is no wind in a wind motor; it's a vacuum. It Sucks!

To avoid confusion call it the roll motor.

  It depends on whether 'wind' is a noun or a verb.  The verb would be a long
  'i' as in "WIND the clock".  The noun would be a short 'i' as in "a strong
  northern WIND".  I would suspect that your usage would be the noun since
  moving air is used to actuate the player mechanism and the motor would be
  used to create the air flow.
