I'm curious, does the business machine work the same as a regular phonograph? I feel like it would be fun go make cylinders a lot quicker.

Four minute cylinders have 200 groves per inch. Two minute cylinders have 100 groves per inch. Business machines have 150 groves per inch. So if you were hoping to make cylinders to play on an entertainment machine it will not work. Jerry Blais
