The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1908)

Edison Phonograph Monthly, Dec, 1908 15 the cylinder shaft runs on a center bearing, the feed screw is slightly longer, and, therefore, these machines require the D-C Attachment. In the Triumph Machine we have Model A, on which the swing arm is locked by the round spring lock knob, operated from the end ; the Model B machine, on which the end gate is locked by the spring lock lever, operated from the front of the machine, and which has a combined body and top plate. A further distinction of these Model B machines is that they are assembled with the golden oak cabinet bearing the name "Edison." We also have the Model C type, which is the machine without the swing arm, and on which the shaft is mounted on the center bearing. The Model C machines, both Home and Triumphs, so far, have been sold only in the State of New York. These three types of Triumph machines vary slightly in length between the back bearings, and, therefore, the shafts and feed screws of the attachments for the three types vary in length. The feed screw sleeve for the D-A type is 4 27-32 inches long. The feed screw sleeve for the Model D-A attachment for the Model A type of Triumph is 5-32 of an inch shorter than the feed screw for the D-B attachment for the Model B Triumph. Both of these attachments are arranged to run between centers, and have a combination thrust and retaining collar between the screw sleeve and the cylinder. The feed screw sleeve for the Model D-C attachment for the New York State machines is one-quarter of an inch longer than the Model D-B screw sleeve, and is arranged to run on a center bearing, and is fitted up with a split bearing in addition to the retaining collar.

Our Christmas Advertising The strongest proof of our confidence in Edison Dealers and our faith in Amberol Records may be evinced by a glance through the December monthly magazines and the late November issues of the large weeklies having national circulation. We have never before spent so much money in one month's advertising. We are bound that every possible purchaser of a sound reproducing instrument in the United States shall know that by the invention of Amberol Records the Edison Phonograph is placed upon a pinnacle of superiority never before reached by a Phonograph or talking machine. Our quarter, half, full and double page ads, with color illustrations strongly suggestive of Christmas, which appear in thirty-two different publications, will be missed by few; and the Dealer who has not made himself known in his community as an Edison Dealer by identifying his local advertising with our national advertising will be the first to feel the results of our Christmas campaign. If the Dealer's advertising efforts in behalf of Edison Phonographs and Records are in proportion to our own efforts his advertising expenditures will soon appear to have been good investments, as our tremendous outlays have always proved to be. A Better Proposition Than Ever Before Whatever improves the Phonograph improves its selling possibilities. Whatever adds to its ability to entertain, increases its popularity, widens its field, raises its standard and broadens its scope, makes it just that much more inviting to those who are in a position to sell it. Amberol Records afford more than a mere talking point. They represent an achievement in this kind of musical entertainment. They open up a new field of possibilities. Because of their length (playing over four minutes and longer than any other record of any kind) they permit of the reproduction of music never before possible and, with the way now open, more music of the better class will be the rule. Amberol Records have a tone quality that is superior even to regular Edison Records and the possibility of getting over twice the entertainment afforded by regular Edison Records at little more than the old price is influencing Record sales far beyond what anything else in recordmaking has done. The Dealer who now pushes Edison Phonographs will find a stimulated market in both instruments and Records.
