Re: Latest Journal Table of Contents
The complimentary articles by Mr. Edie, and Mr. Baumbach were a very nice surprise! Thanks to you, the rest of the board and the other authors as well, of course, for another fine issue.
Merry Christmas,

Re: Latest Journal Table of Contents
And thank you, Fran, for unearthing the story of William Gillett; a name many of us have encountered (but only as "W. Gillett") for many many years, but about whom we knew nothing. One of the more mysterious tinfoil phonograph designers...until now!

Not to be pedantic, but there's no "e" at the end of this Gillett.

Sorry about the appended "e" above. I fixed it, but it just goes to show I'm not too sharp.

Gillettes Castle, Quite a place if you have a chance to stop in and see it!
