		The destruction of their 1939 steam calliope in a winter quarters fire caused the Cole Bros. Circus owners to select the “America” tableau to be altered into a steam calliope vehicle.
		The calliope is comprised of a set of musically-tuned steam whistles, controlled by a set of valves operated by regular piano-style keyboard.
		The time required to heat the water in the boiler into steam probably explains why the calliope was the last wagon to leave the circus lot for the daily march through the city.
