    "​ Perhaps the most intersting of the automatic instruments was the “orchestrion,” essentially an orchestra in a box. Gears, cogs, shafts, chains, and belts were mated to violins, xylophones, banjos, piano strings, drums, bells; and the entire ensemble was crammed into a huge upright housing. Some were programmable (paper roll or other device); other played only on “source.” The sound, if not exactly musical, was awe-inspiring. Orchestrions could be found with any combination of instruments and in any size. Figure 4 is a medium-sized orchestrion that was popular in the 1920s. ",
