He marketed the discs and licensed the arm, as I
recall. Clarkstan and Livingston are two that come to mind. Tis was
coverd in Audio Magazine, etc., at the time so there could be hard data
among the rewritten press releases.
The rights to Cook are with Smithsonian
Folkways. Perhaps they could help. I have a big bunch of the discs
and, somewhere, some Cook catalogs. If you can't get what you need
elsewhere, email me and I'll dig them out.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Cook Binaural
LPs
Does anyone on the list have any experience with the Cook Binaural
System? Cook Labs of Stamford, CT issued some 33 1/3 12" LPs that have to be
played on a twin tonearm turntable. The front of the album says "For use with
the the 1-11/16" standard Cook system. Playback outside track - 12 db @ 10 kc.
Playback inside track - flat. 500 cycle crossover both tracks."
I have 8 of these albums in front of me and am curious if anyone has
knowledge of the extent (and dates) of the Cook binaural experiment and if
anyone has ever seen the Cook turntable.
Thanks in advance,
Peter Hirsch
