Not an answer to your question Bob but what's recorded on them?

Subject: [AV Media Matters] Transcript Discs
> Hello,
>
> I am starting to look at a collection of Transcript Discs (made between 1946
> and 1961) and the medium is a new one for me. Can anyone suggest a good
> source of information about them?
>
> The two sources I have found so far are the fairly recent article in the
> ARSC journal about cleaning and re-recording them and the "Final Performance
> Report: Audio Preservation -- a planning study" (ARSC/AAA: 1987).
>
> An initial examination leads me to believe they are all laminated (no bare
> aluminum as in the post earlier to the list about cleaning).

> Thanks,
