How Columbia Records are made...

[alang]

Here is a link to a thread on the German forum that I thought people here would also find interesting. It includes silent movie clips from 1928 about "How a Columbia Record is made". I did not want to simply "steal" the links and also did not want to loose the discussion. Google translate should help with the German language.

These films are most interesting. Thanks for posting them.

Interesting for sure , but every time I look at this movie I think the amplifier panel seems very strange indeed. I suspect they were being coy about showing the system that they really used, which was of course from Western Electric. I don't know what reason they would have for being shy: HMV was using exactly the same system and they do show the Western Electric cutting head.
