William Sinkler Darby had a long recording career and traveled the world around the turn of the last century with Fred Gaisberg, responsible for many of the first recordings from countries that they visited.

Theodore Birnbaum though originally from London, was the first Managing Director of The Gramophone Company in Berlin (and perhaps Russia?). In April 1904 he become Managing Director in London replacing William Barry OWEN
