François Alibert was also a maker of blanks (ébauches, Rohwerken, roulants). He sold also uncased movements to a finisher! Ord-Hume found this movement in a necessaire. (Ord-Hume, Musical Box, tune sheet no. 4) N° 5940
N° 6245 „Alibert Serial No. 6245 is typical, with a 7¼“ (19 cm) cylinder playing four airs on a 101-tooth comb – twice stamped F. ALIBERT. The governor has a fixed bottom bearing for the endless and the case is plain with no key partition. The movement is inserted from below and two small screws hold the base board in position, typical of the early period and far less effective for sound radiation than a glued-in base. Code No. 15 is stamped on the bass edge of the bedplate and most of the spring components. The serial No. 6245 is stamped on the bedplate and the great wheel. External controls.“ (Bulleid, Technology, p. 5-6) N° 6389 „Serial No. 6389 is another with a 7¼“ (19 cm) cylinder playing four tunes. [...] All of the units have external controls.“ (Bulleid, Technology, p. 5-6) N° 6749 „The largest that I have seen is Serial No. 6749 with 10½“ (27 cm) cylinder playing six airs and, incidentially, the sophistication of a key partition in its plain case. All of the units have external controls.“ (Bulleid, Technology, p. 5-6) N° 22205
