Sectional comb, with 19 x 5 and 1 x 4 teeth, N° 1193

The cylinder is 163 mm x 36 mm and the bedplate is 224 mm x 81 mm


There is one strange lever (top right in the image above) that does not appear to do anything.


3 pieces of music, all about 45 seconds long, has been identified to be from the Opera Dame Blanche (1825).

On close inspection I find that there are no missing teeth. It looks as though there is one missing on the treble end, but there are no pins to strike it so I think it's supposed to be missing. (Bernard Novell)
