Re: Started on the Roberts Bestone
Most welcome.
My wife pointed out this morning that we missed the 100th anniversary of the machine's departure from Liverpool. It would have been last Saturday.
Oh well ... I showed the machine off to some dinner guests last night and spun a record or two. Maybe the 25th coincided with its arrival in North America--I don't know how long a trans-Atlantic crossing took in 1924. If not maybe it coincided with a social occasion in Miss G.E. Blackwell's Tourist 3rd Cabin state room.
