[2] Amoebean music box

[3] GLORIA interchangeable box Mandoline Zither

Paillard´s GLORIA interchangeable box Mandoline Zither was a bold attempt to mass-produce this style. Although the governor assembly was at the right of the cylinder, it was driven by a shaft under the bedplate and was thus independent of the cylinder.
(Ord-Hume, Music Box, Plate 94)
