This photograph shows the Grainger and Cross's Kangaroo Pouch Tone Tool Free Music machine installed in the Grainger Museum, probably in the late 1950s. The machine was not fully complete when it was installed, and Cross visited the Grainger Museum after Percy Grainger's death to complete the instrument so that it could make sound. Cross recorded an interview with ABC Weekend television in 1976, which included footage of the instrument being played in the Museum.
