Edison W250 / W19 Database Project
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2018 4:37 pm
It was suggested by Fran (fran604g) that I start a database on the Edison W250/W19 to try to determine the changes that were made throughout the production of this model (Sept 1917-Aug 1927. This was in response to my previous post which can be found here http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... =2&t=35264 Fran has so graciously allowed me to use his question model. If there is anything else that you feel should be added, please let me know. I would really appreciate any and all help and suggestions from members. Thanks so much, Jan
