Well, the first three items seem to be missing a word which would make them food related:

Get to know your cheese board.
Bettini's French Wine Advertisements.
The Early Talking Machine Club Sandwich. :)

Great issue. The Victor R is one of my favorite Victor models. Thanks to all the APS members that submitted such great articles.

Im glad to receive this issue of the sound box because i have 2 predog Vic Rs.

One has serial number 4394 and came to me with a beautiful bedplate and support arm and corner columns and no hold down.

The other r came to me with this ugly grayish bedplate but it had a nice long support arm and a large brass bell horn and hold down. I assumed that someone had tried to clean the oxidation and ruined it. So i swapped the motors and put the nice bedplate on this R. The reason I mention this is because the ser number on this one is 367

Ive include pics of both machines for comparison, but I guess Ill swap motors AGAIN and put the ugly bedplate on the early R. And, I'm guessing that the long support arm and brass bell is not correct for that machine either..

Wow - number 367! I wish I had known of this before I wrote the article...

Yes, you should definitely put that grey finished motor/plate back into #367. For the moment at least, it's the earliest-known Royal!
