	Edison Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edison Records was the first record label, pioneering recorded sound and an important player in the early record industry.
		Edison Records continued selling cylinders until they went out of business in 1929, but for the last decade these were simply dubs of their commercial disc records intended for customers who still used cylinder phonographs purchased years before.
		The masters for the Edison Records back catalogue were purchased by Henry Ford, and became part of the collection of the Henry Ford Museum.

	Marston - In Their Own Voices
		Sound was recorded in much the same way as on the phonograph with the difference that the cutting stylus was oriented to produce a side-ways or lateral vibration within the groove.
		The exact date of the recording session is uncertain, but we know that sometime during the month of May, Harold Vorhese, a member of Edison’s recording department, was dispatched to Lincoln, Nebraska for the purpose of recording Bryan at his residence.
		It is not surprising that Edison was the first to promote their Taft cylinders, and the August issue of the Phonograph Monthly includes, once again, a detailed report on the making of the Taft recordings by Walter Miller, manager of the Edison recording department.

	Edison:The History of the Edison Cylinder Phonograph
		Edison immediately tested the machine by speaking the nursery rhyme into the mouthpiece, "Mary had a little lamb." To his amazement, the machine played his words back to him.
		Edison increased the entertainment offerings on his cylinders, which by 1892 were made of a wax known among collectors today as "brown wax." Although called by this name, the cylinders could range in color from off-white to light tan to dark brown.
		The Edison Concert Phonograph, which had a louder sound and a larger cylinder measuring 4.25" long and 5" in diameter, was introduced in 1899, retailing for $125 and the large cylinders for $4.

		Edison Records continued selling cyliners until they went out of business in 1929, but for the last decade these were simply dubbs of their commercial disc records intended for customers who still used cylinder phonographs purchased years before.
		The thick Edison Discs recorded the sound vertically in the groove rather than laterally, and could only be played to their full advantage on Edison Diamond Disc Phonographs.
		The audio fidelity was often comprable to the best of other record companies of the time, but they sold poorly as Edison's market share had declined to the point where it was no longer one of the leading companies and Edison had few distributors compared to leaders like Victor, Columbia, and Brunswick.

	Part IV: Series Notes - The Edison Papers
		Edison responded to some of these letters with marginal notations, in which he expresses his views on topics such as religion and spiritualism, hearing impairment, aviation and aerial navigation, and wireless telegraphy.
		Edison also received a substantial amount of correspondence from the general public as a result of his solicitations for information about the location of gold dry placer mines (1901-1904) and inexpensive supplies of cobalt ore (1906-1907).
		Included are copies of letters from Edison, William L. Saunders, and the Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill Co. The correspondence pertains to the assignment of Edison's patent for reheating compressed air and Saunders's patented method for improving the efficiency of motor fluids.

	Thomas Edison and His Papers
		Because the arrangement of the documents on the microfilm parallels the organizational structure of the archive itself, it is helpful to understand how the records of Edison's laboratories and companies were generated during his own lifetime and how the archivists entrusted with their guardianship have subsequently treated them.
		Edison and his associates also used numerous loose pieces of paper to record ideas in the midst of research.
		In June 1946 the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation was incorporated as a nonprofit organization, and on February 11, 1948—the 101st anniversary of Edison's birth—the Foundation opened the library and laboratory to the public and assumed responsibility for the operation of the museum and the administration of its collections.

		His recording techniques made use of the vertical "hill & dale" style of recording which was used on his cylinder records.
		To further complicate things, Edison records were almost four times as thick as other records, and utilized a microgroove which required a diamond stylus and special sound box.
		Of course, the Edison records were no doubt the finest example of acoustic recording technology for its time.

	Marston - Three Edison Tenors
		Edison was both the inventor of the cylindrical phonograph in 1877 and also one of the most colorful characters related to its history.
		As is typical of Edison records of the period, the “orchestra” consisted of a string quartet, harp, and an occasional wind instrument, Edison preferring this soothing combination to whatever the composer may have intended.
		Edison felt, upon reviewing one of Bonci’s Fonotipia records, that he was a “good tenor, sweet voice—good range.” However he concluded Bonci’s “tremolo very considerable” and determined that he would be “valuable for advertising purposes” only.

		Edison's critics say that public confidence in the utility was seriously damaged by the flouts and by the utility's record $572 million rate increase in March.
		Edison crews combated equipment failures during 1988's record hot summer by using water from fire hydrants to cool down overheated electrical equipment, a practice experts consider unorthodox and potentially dangerous.
		There were no senior Edison officials around to shut down power to the plant, so fire officials had to abandon their search for the cause of the blaze until the power was turned off, according to the reports.

	The Edison Shop - Cylinder Phonograph Reproducers
		The short coming to this reproducer was that to change from a 2-minute record to a 4-minute record, the reproducer had to be removed from the phonograph so that the central part of the weight could be rotated to the correct position.
		The Amberola I was the first Edison phonograph since the Tinfoil model to have the record move laterally under the reproducer as opposed to having the reproducer move.
		An article on cylinder reproducers for use on Edison Phonographs would not be complete without commenting on some of the modern devises which have been manufactured for facilitating electrical playback of cylinder records.

	-Edison Cylinder and Disc Record Development-
		Edison invented the cylinder phonograph in 1877 when he was 30 years old, but that was not the end of the story.
		Edison granted a license to Columbia to use the Edison solid wax cylinder, tapered phonograph mandrel, and jeweled stylus.
		The Amberol records were not known for their durability or sound quality, and they couldn't compare to the plastic indestructible records that were being offered by competitors.

		Records with such markings are molded-era cylinders dating from around mid-1902 to 1904.
		However, many pre-1900 brown wax recordings were recorded at other odd speeds, often to meet the time requirement of the recording.
		One approach that works with vocal recordings is to find a known-speed recording by the same performer, and match it to the unknown brown wax recording.

		Edison's decision to make his records incompatible with the competition's poised his newly reorganized Thomas A. Edsion Inc. for disappointing disc sales.
		Edsion was banking on the superior sound quality inherent in his vertical groove recording system to propel his company ahead of the competition.
		He was intently devoted to the highest possible sound quality of his records and went further to only allow the highest calibur of performers and selections to be recorded under his label.

	Edison:Instumental Selections on the Edison Diamond Discs (1912-1929)
		To modern audiences, this recording is jarringly offensive, but it would be misrepresentative of history not to acknowledge the existence of these recordings and the fact that they were accepted as mainstream popular entertainment and were produced by nearly every popular record label.
		Thus, the foreign language and ethnic recordings served a double purpose: they could be sold abroad to foreign audiences or to immigrant groups here in the U.S. For the immigrant, sound recordings offered a way of maintaining one's culture amidst a larger society, and perhaps offered some solace to those who missed their homelands.
		When it came to operatic records, Edison was very opposed to any singer having excessive vibrato or tremolo in his or her voice, even a renowned artist.

		His fourth release under the pHoaming Edison moniker is a widely varied collection of ingenious twists and turns on familiar themes, skewed noise bits, and some damn fine rockunroll.
		He's clearly a bubbling well of ideas and the guy deserves to be a hell of a lot better known.

		Edison had a relatively small piece of the market by this time.
		Early Brunswick discs were not sold in the U.S. due to an agreement with the Pathe Phonograph Company, which opened recording facilities in New York City in 1914 and a large pressing plant in Belleville, New Jersey.
		When Edison discs are played, record grooves must move the stylus and heavy reproducer across the disc since no gearing mechanism from the motor advances the tone arm (as is the case in Edison models).
