Less common types of Edison CYLINDERS info?
Hoping to hear from somebody that is knowledgeable on the less common types of Edison CYLINDERS. There are afew I was curious about but one would be the "SPECIAL" series.

If memory serves correctly, the Specials were included (six, I think) when one bought a combination attachment kit to convert a 2 minute machine to 2-4 minute machine.

Not Edison, but there’s those extra long Columbia cylinder format. I don’t know how rare they are, but those and something to play concert cylinders on are the only format machines I still don’t have.
Then there are the Busy Bee records that are slightly too big to play on a regular machine. You have to play it on some sort of modified Columbia Q (not sure if other busy bee models are out there)
I think Pathé had their own large cylinder format also?

I have entered the world of Concert cylinders, I have an Edison Concert, (well it is more of a duplex as it can play both small and large cylinders.) and I finally got that AG working too! When did Columbia stop making 5" cylinders, and Edison. I have an Edison recording by Byron G Harlan circa 1903-1904 on Concert format, and those were supposed to be dubbed form Gold Moulded records via pant-o-graph, but it is louder and clearer than any Gold Moulded I have heard.

- Edison Concet (more of a duplex, capable of playing and recording both kinds of cylinders, I have the flat carriage for playing standard records too, and a carriage for accepting trailing type, advance ball studio recorders. The case is new, made by a friend of mine. The bed plate, I need to restore.
