Here's a very useful site from Hervé David that covers vertical-cut French Pathé discs issued from 1905 to 1932.
http://www.hervedavid.fr/francais/phono ... Saphir.htm
It's in French but should be fairly usable for those who don't read the language (numéros d'enregistrement=matrix numbers, étiquette=label).

However, this one works and identifies the time frame based on the labels...

Or just use an add-on extension like Google Translate (or the like) to the browser that you already use.
That Pathé site could be pretty useful.

Here's the Internet Archive version of Hervé David's site:dvanmet wrote:Just as an FYI, this site appears to be gone or moved now.

From what I can tell, most/all of the links work.
Here's the page translated in English, using Google Translate ( https://translate.google.com/ ):
https://translate.google.com/translate? ... edit-text=
You'll probably have to do a translation for each page or link.
If you find the information useful, it's a good idea to preserve it by saving the individual pages as html files, or copying and pasting the data into a document file and saving it as a PDF file, etc.. As I've found out over the years, even the Internet Archive is not necessarily "forever."
