Slotted crank on Victor machines

Post by fmblizz »

Was there a specific year the Victor Talking Machine Co. stopped using "slotted cranks" on their motors??

Thanks in advance

Victor transitioned from slotted cranks to screw-on cranks for the Victor III around 1904. This change was part of the improvements made to the design of their phonographs.
