[ARSCLIST] Ediphone Cylinders

[Jack Raymond <jraymond@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Recently I acquired a few 6" Ediphone cylinders in an original box (on 
the top of which is scrawled "Hands Off - 4/29/29"). One of the 
cylinders is Dictaphone Business Practice Course, Record 2, in virtually 
new condition.  The others have some mold spots and dirt and need to be 
cleaned.  How best to go about that - with Windex?  Also, what speed did 
they play at, and with what size stylus?  There's probably nothing very 
special recorded on them, although it's not business dictation.  Slips 
with the cylinders read --

"Announcer for Edison Radio Orchestra"
"World War #2"
"Philosophical Talk 1929"
"White House Coffee radio show announcer 1929"
"WJZ NYC chimes 1929"
"Intro Announce to Edison TAE Inc Show dedicated to Henry Ford"
"May 1929 - SGL - CH - WHC" - the White House Coffee show
