Hello to all,
 
   Jim!  There were three Wurlitzer Butterfly's.
one was the "Student Butterfly"  it has 44 keys
 was 26 in. long weights 88 lbs. It has no
pedals and has a single escapement action 
(jack on key).
 
The next size up is a 73 note piano  about
4ft.10 long.
 
Then there was the 88 note size about 5 ft.
 
  Both the 73 and the 88 note had a double repeat 
action.  It was what I call (The Dekalb action).
 
   In this action the repetition lever and the jack 
used individual coil springs. Also the repetition 
lever is about one half as long of "regular actions"
 Looks a little odd  works well. However a little 
unforgiving to regulate.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Regards,
Jack Wyatt
