We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
change it unless for some special purpose. When using the Victor instrument and piano together, it may be necessary to change the speed slightly to get the two instruments exactly in tune; and sometimes dancers wish a little variation to suit their steps. But test the speed occasionally by placing a slip of paper under the edge of the record, and while it is playing, see that the paper revolves seventyeight times in one minute.
Don't try to drop the needle or Tungs-tone Stylus exactly into the first record groove. It is likely to make a hole, and you will hear a little ‘‘tick” when the needle passes over the spot. The proper way is to start the instrument; then wait two or three seconds until it reaches full speed (you can give the turntable a little “push” to | help this), carefully lower the sound box so that the needle or stylus rests on the smooth outside rim of the disc; then let go and it will glide gently into the first groove of the record. Always be careful to place a Tungstone Stylus GENTLY on the record to avoid bending the point.
We take very great pains to make this Catalog complete and keep it up to date. We work on it the whole year round. But in spite of our best care, a mistake, now and then, will occur. Where you find such a mistake, you will be doing a very welcome service to us and to every lover of music if you will let us know of it. And we are always grateful for suggestions that you think may improve the Catalog generally; we thank the many friends who have sent us such suggestions in the past.
All communications dealing with the Catalog should be addressed to the Victor Catalog Editor, Camden, N. J.
