The Model 100 had a short production life from June 1924 to October 1925, when it was replaced by the Model 101, which had a re-designed acoustic system to meet the demands of the new electrical recordings. Here is a period advertisement for the Model 100 :

I notice that in your 'photo's No's 7 and 8 there are chalk marks.
When I opened my HMV 101 there were similar marks - on mine though '10x' was written.
I wonder if these marks were written on the machines at the time of construction and if so why ?

Yes when I opened these signs were, I did not touch them. I think it was written during construction, but what do they mean I don't know.poodling around wrote:I notice that in your 'photo's No's 7 and 8 there are chalk marks.

Re: HMV 100 № 9840
These chalk inscriptions are commonly found. I believe that they were written by assembly workers on the production line for quality control purposes. If the machine was ever returned to the factory for remedial work, the marks would identify who had assembled it at each stage of production.
