Moar info on the organ
Anonymous File :-(, x)
Seems like this is real
Copypasta from http://www.walterruffler.de/Mechan3.html : The paper organ was placed at my disposal for my lecture kindly by Fritz König / Atelier GAG. The patent had been registered in 1990 for Benjamin Hurdle in Great Britain. Actually it is distributed by Marcle Models in the U.K. and Scheuer & Strüver in Germany. The organ's main parts are: a double bellows, a pressure vessel, a distributor of compressed air, eight organ pipes and a transport device for a punched paper tape. The paper tape serves as a valve and regulates the air pressure supply of the organ pipes. It is pulled through a narrow opening between distributor of compressed air and organ pipes by turning a crank. While the not punched part of the tape is between distributor of compressed air and organ pipe nothing happens. When there is a hole the air can pass and a sound will arise. The duration of the sounds is determined by the length of the holes. Base and top of the pressure vessel are elastic and bend when activating the bellows. An elastic band that connects both components limits the bending and helps rising the compression. At the top a trapeziform indicator is fastened, it is connected to two paper strips which on the other hand are fixed in front and behind on the top. If the top bends upwards the paper strips tighten and swing the trapezium top, the states of indication are "Pump" und "Play".
So, any Anon able to reconstruct the organ from these details?
