Peter Martland's history of EMI (Since Records Began, EMI: The First 
100 Years) says:

"In 1917...the Columbia Graphophone Company Ltd was formed...the 
chairman was Sir George Croydon Marks MP (later Lord Marks of 
Woolwich), formerly Thomas Edison's British patent aagent and an 
ex-chairman of his British record business...Marks [later became a] 
founding member of the EMI board."   (page 110)
