I recieved the machine yesterday, it is indeed what I expected it to
be. The motor does not appear to be home made, nor a one of a kind. It does
not come apart when the mounting screws are removed from the case. It comes out
of the case intact. The crank is the only part that seems to have been made by
hand. I have concluded that it's a Greenhill Motor. Patent applied 1892,
issued May 8 1893. This would certainly put it in the time of the Amet spring
motor.
There is a Greenhill motor shown in the "Patent History of the
Phonograph". There is also a writeup and a picture of the motor and class M top
in
Frow's book. According to Frow the Greenhill Motor and Class M top were sold
together in a carry case. I find no sign or mention of where or how it would
get
mounted. I have to assume they all where put into home made cases.
The reproducer is very strange, and I have to do more research. When I
have additional information, I'll inform the list. If anyone has any other
information about Greenhill I would appreciate hearing from them.

Hi Aaron,
What do you mean the reproducer is very strange?
Thanks,
