DIRECTIONS({.})
   The handle is attached to the instrument by screwing it upon the
end of the crank, and is to be operated by turning it [(IN THE SAME
DIRECTION)]{in the same direction}. [(When you wish to remove the
handle, unscrew (it), holding the bellows crank, if necessary, so
(that) it shall not revolve.)]{You may turn it the other way, if
you want to: but then the handle will unscrew and come off into your
hand. It is sometimes best to detach the handle and put it away, when
not in use, to prevent the instrument from being meddled with.} 
   The [cylinder]({roller}) has two holes in one end, and one in the
other.  Turn the two hole end toward the end of the instrument where
the handle is, and place the central hole over the end of the driver
shaft and the hole near the edge of the [cylinder]({roller}) over the
pin in the driver arm.  Draw back the spindle at the opposite end, by
means of the brass button, and insert the end of it into the single
hole in the [centre]({center}) of that end of the [cylinder]
({roller}).
   [TO PLAY:--]({Now play.}) Turn the handle just fast enough to play
the tune properly.  The [cylinder]({roller}) will revolve three times
spirally, and when the tune is finished, it will [(automatically
move)]{slip} back to place of beginning.  If you wish to repeat the
tune, keep right on turning the handle.
(   Do not WRING or TWIST the Roller in removing it from the
Instrument as by so doing you are liable to loosen the Driver arm.)
   There is a steel hook under the [cylinder]({roller}) shaft [(which
holds)]{whose business it it to hold} the [cylinder]({roller}) up
against the keys.  But the instrument will play no tune without a
[cylinder]({roller}); and if you have turned it without having one in
{,} until the shaft is away from its place of beginning a tune, then
press down the hook, let the shaft slip back, insert [a cylinder]
({your roller}), and turn away.  The [{i}](I)nstrument will then play
no music until it has got around to its place, when it will begin the
tune.
   Keep the instrument in a dry place, away from the dust; [(fill the
oiler with good sewing machine oil, and OIL THE WORKING PARTS
OFTEN.)]{and oil the working parts occasionally with good oil, as you
would a music box, or a sewing machine.}
