And the CBC's aircheck lacquers are microgroove from a point in the mid 60s (and they sound horrible, by the way..levels too low, disc noise too high). C. P. Macgregor also syndicated 16" microgroove transcriptions in the 60s..I have several.

Late (mid-1950s-1959 when they switched to 12") AFRTS 16" pressings were
microgroove. Lots at LC.

I'be never seen a non-experimental 16" 33 that used a 1 mil groove- always
a

40s.


I visited him in Stamford, I believe it was, a few times. He claimed to
be
the inventor of the LP and that Goldmark instigated the paperwork. Mirko
died before I could persue this in any depth.


His name is now widely forgotten, but in his day he was well known for
making audio systems for the rich, musical and famous, Toscanini being
among
that number.
