Sales Department Bulletin No. 35
August 2, 1909 Trade Information for U. S. Dealers
All correspondence concerning this bulletin should mention its number and be addressed to NATIONAL PHONOGRAPH COMPANY, SALES DEPARTMENT, Orange, N. J
GEM COMBINATION TYPE PHONOGRAPH.
Descriptive.
A new Combination Type Phonograph, at a list price well within the reach of every one, and at the same time containing the same excellent features embodied in our newer type Phonographs equipped to play both Standard and Amberol Records.
In appearance this Phonograph is like the model "B" machine, except that the frame casting is a little larger.
The motor has been changed, and is fitted with a special main spring, made of a particular kind of steel, and is slightly thicker than the old spring. The machine will run fully one Amberol Record, or fully two Standard Records. This new spring is very powerful and produces perfect regulation.
(The trade is warned not to replace these springs with ordinary ones that can be purchased in open market.)
The motor is also equipped with a new winding ratchet and pawl, which is absolutely noiseless when winding.
Price.
List price, $15.00, subject to regular Dealers' "Gem" machine discounts; 30 per cent, from list.
Equipment.
Equipped with a model "K" reproducer, having a model "C" and model "H" sapphire assembled in separate arms, mounted on a swivel plate set in the overhanging weight; attached to this swivel plate is a pointer or lever, thereby enabling the user to readily change the position of the sapphires for playing either the Standard or Amberol Records.
To play the Standard Record the index pointer must be turned against stop-pin at figure 2. To play the Amberol Record the index pointer must be turned against stop-pin at figure 4. In order to make these changes, the reproducer must be taken out of the diaphragm-arm.
Caution.
In replacing the reproducer, care should be taken that the sapphire does not come in contact with the lower part of the opening of the speaker-arm, also that the reproducer is located correctly, and that the set-screw is tightened.
Finish.
The machine body is finished in a rich deep
maroon, with black and gold stripes, and bears
the name "Edison" instead of the word "Gem."
Horn.
A specially finished maroon colored horn, which will be packed in case with the machine; 19 inches long; bell, 11 inches wide.
Horn-crane. Regular nickel two piece Gem Crane set in socket in machine body.
Selling Date. To be placed on sale simultaneously in the United States and Canada on October 1st, 1909.
