Description

This is one of the 1/4 inch thick black carbon Edison records, with etched as opposed to printed labels.

This record may play on a normal 78 record player however Edison Diamond discs were recorded at 80 rpm is using a horizontal diaphragm, intended it to be played back on an Edison phonograph that also used a horizontal stylus/cartridge that Edison referred to as diamond tipped.
It should not be played on any of the steel tip stylus players of that era because they will destroy the groves which modulate up and down rather than from side to side as the steel tip vertical diaphragms used by non Edison players used.
