8 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD. SI/?: EDI SON announces the new DISC Phonograph That part of your trade that has learned to look with favor upon the disc type of phonograph can now have such an instrument made by Mr. Ed ison. The Edison Disc, however, has not been perfected simply to meet a disc demand. With Mr. Edison it was not a question of disc or cylinder but a question of carrying sound-reproduction further than it had ever been carried before. The new Edison Disc Phonograph is not a talking machine but a wonderful musical instrument. It represents thirty-five years of experiment and investigation in musical acoustics and sound reproduction. It embodies not only new reproducing methods but also new recording methods.
