Info on Pla-More Lateral Adapter

[Talkophone]

Picked this up yesterday but can't find any information about it on the internet. Amy help would be appreciated.
the needle bar goes up a tube inside the reproducer.

Interesting... How did they go about sealing the tube from air-leakage from where the needle-bar emerges ?

Not sure how they sealed it and really can't get a good picture. Neat that it is a triangle shaped where you put the needle in
like an Exhibition reproducer.

I think it's a generic design. See a couple of others here: http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... =2&t=19607

The triangular hole is to accommodate bamboo needles.

That's the DD version to play 78s, I have the same adapter for a Victor to play Pathés or DDs.

I want to Thank everyone who put out some information on the Adapter. Curt have you ever posted a picture of your adapter that works on Victors?

I wonder what they thought would be gained by putting the needle bar on the inside? (unless it was to circumvent someone else's patent)...

The triangular hole not only accommodates wooden but also centers round needles relative to the lever activating the diaphragm.
