Re: [ARSCLIST] proper cataloging terminology: acetate vs lacquer?
Surely it has to be "lacquer" - very few contained any acetate. Have
there been any instantaneous CUT discs (i.e. not embossed metal discs)
which didn't have a lacquer surface layer? Just curious.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] proper cataloging terminology: acetate vs lacquer?
I recently heard a discussion among catalogers on whether to describe an
item as an "acetate" or a "lacquer". Said item would be an
instantaneous
recording cut into nitrocellulose on an aluminum, glass or other
substrate.
So which is the more appropriate term for cataloging - acetate or
lacquer?
