Baldwin Manualo Keyslip Controls
By Dale F. Rowe
Dear Dave, Greetings from The Bronx. What your rocker type lever may be is a "Pause-Accelerando" Lever. I've only seen this in a few 88-note players. The rocker lever is balanced by leaf spring or springs, to remain level until depressed for the required effect. Depressing the "Pause" end enables a cut-out that stops the rotation of the roll motor, while depressing the "Accelerando" end, enables a roll motor governor by-pass, causing the motor to speed up. Releasing the "Teeter-Totter" type lever allows the leaf spring or springs to center, thus allowing the roll motor to resume at its previously set tempo. Hope this helps, Sincerely, Dale F. Rowe Bronx, New York
