24    <h3>Pianola</h3>
25    <p>The technikum29 is quite versatile &ndash; beside all the communication
26       and computer technology we also show very special exhibits: This is
27       a fully executable pianola, year of manufacture about 1910-1915.</p>

30       It's a great experience see and hear such old jukeboxes, typically made
31       only of natural materials like leather, gum, wood, bone glue, felt, metal, paper,
32       ivory and glas.
33       <br/>By assembling these elements on an intelligent way, one could
34       build a simple mechanical machine which is especially impressive
35       for today's people. Here at the technikum29, we will show you how
36       this device works, we will explain the basic functionality and
37       play challenging compositions. While having covers removed, you can
38       even see the fascinating mechanics working.

53     <p>The technikum29 has a movie projector from 1951 (there are
54        more and even older projectors from the 1930s that are stored in the
55        archive for lack of space).</p>
56     <p>
57        Movie projectors have always been very complex devices. At that time,
58        the bright picture projection was archived with an arc light which was
59        generated between two carbon pencils. The waste heat was deflected via a
60        chimney pipe! <!-- stupid mode... -->
61        Since the pencils got shorter and shorter while the movie went on, they
62        had to be moved continously closer together for producing a constant
63        luminosity. Otherwise the light goes out.
64        <br/>We will repair this device to show an original newsreel from the 1960s.
