The
Edison Disc Phonographs and the Diamond Discs 
The Diamond Disc Phonograph is the other half of
the Edison Phonograph story. These fine machines were introduced to a disc-hungry
public in 1912, and remained in production until 1929.
George L. Frow's The Edison Diamond Disc Phonographs
and the Diamond Discs documents the history of the development of these
important instruments. Many experimental, and all production, Diamond Disc
Phonographs are illustrated and described. Additionally, the story of the
development and manufacture of the rather unique Diamond Disc records is
presented.
George L. Frow is well known within the Phonograph
collecting community for his extensive research and dedication to the history
of Edison Phonographs. Mr. Frow is only the third person elected to the
Presidency of the City of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society since
its formation in 1919.
The new 2001 edition of this favorite reference
has been enlarged to include information on the wonderful discoveries of
both of the Large Gothic Edison Phonographs. Also, other new information
has been added, making this new edition a welcome addition to the library
of the new as well as the seasoned collector.
This new American edition of the The Edison Diamond
Disc Phonographs and the Diamond Discs is softcover and priced at only $19.95. |
