The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Here is what I came up with to get decent images of a cylinder box label. Not sure if I'm the first to come up with this idea, but I think it works great and is a great improvement over taking a bunch of stills around the box and stitching them together.

Well done.

Ray Phillips came up with same basic idea about 20 years ago when he did a couple of article for the old "Sound Box" (a newsletter then, not yet a magazine) about Bettini labels. But he did it on a xerox machine. It worked well and he was able to get pretty decent images of the many different variations.
