It works on vacuum principle: The flipped-out FOOT PEDALS activate
a "VACUUM CHAMBER". [1st] A series of small BELLOWS are attached to
this "vacuum chamber" - One bellow for every note. Each time a hole
in the MUSIC ROLL exposes a hole in the "TRACKER BAR", the outside
(normal pressure) air get pulled in. The movable side of this bellow,
with its attached hammer, strikes its piano string and falls back,
when the hole is covered by paper again. [2nd] A "PNEUMATIC MOTOR"
drives the spools - The speed is adjustable by a lever, see ...
