related to Twain's orchestrelle.  About six years ago, I recall the
machine "played" by putting a dime into a slot in the machine.
Was that a recording, or the actual machine that played?  I'm also
wondering what fund the dimes were used for and if the machine was
rigged for dimes when Twain owned it?
