The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Folks,

Here's a very interesting page or two from the LoC on our old friend TAE:

Inventing Entertainment; The Motion Pictures & Sound recordings of the Edison Companies

(There's a bit in there about those funny records that are shaped like toilet paper roll tubes for those of you who were asking about them )

Regards,
John
