^af^tf R -^ Preface The year 1913 marks the end of one phase of acoustical sound reproduction. The outside horn was discontinued in favor of the inside version, the main reason being that the lady of the house liked the looks of it. The first efforts toward it were a little less than satisfactory but by this year, 1913, the inside horn has come of age — the Edison School machine being the only outside horn machine left. The Edison factory, lead by its founder, entered into this new age with much enthusiasm — looking for the time that they again would be the undisputed leader in recorded entertainment. Time shows that this would not necessarily be true — competition had been given too much of a head start and Edison would be forced to take a more or less equal position in the history of recorded sound. It would have been interesting to have observed all these happenings but since we had no chance to do so, we do appreciate the next best view — the availability of the E.P.M. made possible by the foresight of our own "Mac" McMillion.
