Abstract
THE gramophone record industry is so specialized, particularly in the manufacture of disk records, that although the industry is half a century old and substantial developments have taken place in the last decade, there have been hitherto no books or ‘inside’ information published which give a comprehensive account of the extremely delicate processes involved in making multiplications of a master record perhaps a million times. The author gives an amusing, but intelligent, historical account of the pioneers and their early efforts in recording natural sounds, and then carefully states the nature of the problem and how it is solved at the present time.
