Informational content:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2022Assigned roll identity<\/span>—It\u2019s usually a chronological number or an alpha-numeric assignment. If the identity is known from the roll leader, tail or box end label, it can be used to search the rollography for further information.<\/span>
\n \u2022Tune list<\/span> \u2014Establishment of one or more tunes on a roll can serve as the initiation point for a search. The challenge arises with the repetition of tunes in later re-cuts; sometimes in scrambled order; from more than one original. Further challenges are presented with the varieties of labeling practices between the manufacturers, with some being very articulate in tune identification and some not so much. <\/span>
\n \u2022Arranging style<\/span> —Little is known about 8tti arrangers. In some instances there is familiarity with their work, but to a large degree no patterns exist that serve to align style of 8tti arranging with specific makers and arrangers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assigned roll identity<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

The informational content of rolls is unique to each maker. Yet, every manufacturer in turn, had an impact on successors causing them to generally choose different identification methodologies. The exception to this is when they decided to perpetuate a prior product line. For that reason each of them will be treated separately, in chronological order.<\/span><\/p>\n

Possessors of a roll having a numeric or alpha-numeric label should scan across the listings below to find suitable candidates for their roll. Refinement of the choices can be made by consulting the “tune listings” which are sorted by scale and available on the top menu of every page.<\/span><\/p>\n
