"Standing 6 feet high and covering 30 feet of wall space, the sequencer consisted of hundreds of switches controlling stepping relays, timing solenoids, tone circuits and 16 individual oscillators. If you walked behind the wall during the operation the music produced would be all but drowned out by the cacophonous klickety-klack of the relays as they switched positions." -Herb Deutsch, author & Hofstra University music professor, recalling a visit to Raymond Scott's self-design & built studio
RS Studio, 1946
