Edwardian Elegance
Taking a walk along the High Street in Rochester, Kent, we find Naylor's New Gramophone Saloon. How pleasant to peruse their stock of machines among the potted palms!

Compared to the rest, the machine left of centre near the front, between the palm and the Harry Lauder picture is much smaller. I wonder what it was?

Ah, if I only had that time machine. What a joy it would be to walk into a shop like that with all the shiny new phonographs of long ago.

Right. (When that Tennessee Williams play is performed in the UK, is the title changed to "A Tram Named Desire"? Wouldn't quite make the same impact, somehow.)
