Ludlow style wall box

Hey kiddo! Do you like music? Well, sometimes people use a machine called a jukebox to play songs they like.

But have you ever heard of a Ludlow style wall box? It's a special kind of jukebox that looks like a small tiny closet that you can hang on a wall.

It's called the Ludlow style because that's the name of the person who came up with this idea a long time ago. Isn't that cool?

Inside the Ludlow style wall box, there are little tubes or pipes that hold the music. These tubes are called selections. When you put a coin in the machine and press a button, the Ludlow style wall box starts playing the song you picked.

So it's like having your own personal concert right in your house that you can control with a coin and a button. How neat is that?

Now, there are other kinds of wall boxes, but the Ludlow style is special because it's the first one that made it easy to change the music selections without having to take the machine apart.

So, if you ever see a little box that looks like a mini closet hanging on a wall, you might be looking at a Ludlow style wall box, and now you know all about it!
