22 THE PHONOGRAM Banish your Noah’s Ark ideas. Forget the coin-slot out-of-order- half-the-time Phonograph. Go to the nearest dealer and ask to hear the New Phonographs with the New Moulded Records and the New Reproducers. For many years Mr. Edison has been thinking about this New Moulded Record. As far back as January, 1884, he patented the pro- cess of electroplating in a vacuum. In 1888, other patents followed, for new and important methods of mak- ing and casting Records from moulds; and also in the making of such moulds from the Master Record. The many mechanical difficulties were finally overcome, one by one ; with the final result that the New Moulded Records were placed before the public early in January, 1902.
