EE These are notes I preserved from memory This machine took over from the musical boxes obviously in different forms but this particular make was used in public houses as it played tunes It was a penny in the slot machine. It be thy turn to pay thou old skinflint put thee hapence where thee mouth is and we'll have a sing song. This machine was termed a domestic model it didn't need the penny but the works for this process was inside. Circa 1899. Copyright Uncle Albert. Help me pull him off Chumpet we don't do copyrights.
