OK, I found the page numbers:
Rice, Chester W. and Edward W. Kellogg, "Notes on the Development of a New Type of Hornless Loudspeaker," Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers 44, 1925, p. 461-475
Well, it turned out to be easy: it's reprinted in the AES Journal!
Notes on the Development of a New Type of Hornless Loudspeaker 1973320 bytes (CD aes4)
Author(s): Rice, Chester W.; Kellogg, Edward W.
Publication: Volume 30 Number 7/8 pp. 512·521; June 1982

He can find it at http://www.aes.org/journal/search.cfm , by entering "kellogg" in the "author" box. If he's an AES member, he can buy it for 5 $; non-member is 20 $.
The acknowledgement footnote there says "* Abridgment of paper presented at the Spring Convention of the A. I. E. E., St. Louis, April 13-17, 1925.

I can't tell who did the abridgement, or when, but I think the original paper was abridged to produce the AIEE paper, which the AES reproduced complete; and the page numbers don't match those that Cox got. But surely this must be the paper he wants.
