Re: [Phono-L] Last Edison factory gets a reprieve

  It was run successfully with Charles Edison as its president, until it 
merged with McGraw in 1957. (You've never seen a 'McGraw-Edison' appliance? 
I have a nice heater of theirs - cost me $2 at a yard sale 30 years ago, and 
it still cranks out the BTUs very nicely!)

  I am unaware of any "terminal decline" - maybe of the unused buildings 
after the merger, but not Thomas A. Edison, Inc.

Does anyone know the history of what happened to the Edison company after 
Tom died. It seems that they never really moved in any new direction other 
than terminal decline..

[Phono-L] ARSC Conference Travel Grants 2017 -- Call for Applications

2016-10-13 Thread Bill Klinger via Phono-L 
The Outreach Committee of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections
(ARSC) posts the following message.

--- ARSC CONFERENCE TRAVEL GRANTS ---

Application Deadline: December 16, 2016

The Association for Recorded Sound Collections is now accepting applications
for ARSC Conference Travel Grants to be awarded in 2017.

The grants are designed to:
-- encourage ARSC members to attend their first ARSC conference
-- reach out to college students and professionals in the early stages of
their careers
-- promote mentoring and professional development opportunities
-- advance scholarly research and publication, and
-- support ARSC members who desire to participate more actively in the
association.

Grant recipients are awarded:
-- complimentary registration for the entire ARSC Annual Conference
-- gratis registration for the Pre-Conference Workshop, and
-- reimbursement up to US$750 to defray the expenses of transportation and
lodging (upon approval of valid receipts, to be submitted after the
conference). Rental car costs for transportation within the conference city
are not reimbursable.

At the time of application, the applicant must be a member of ARSC in good
standing, planning to attend his or her first ARSC conference. The applicant
must also be one of the following:
-- a college or university student aspiring to work with sound recordings
-- a recent graduate seeking a professional position involving sound
recordings
-- a professional within the first five years of his or her career, who has
demonstrated a dedication to sound recordings
-- a researcher or discographer showing compelling prospects for the
publication or dissemination of his or her scholarly work.

Applicants who demonstrate an interest in serving on an ARSC committee,
publishing their work in the ARSC Journal, or presenting at an ARSC
conference will be given particular consideration. Preference will be given
to applicants who plan to attend the entire conference, beginning with the
pre-conference workshop.

Each applicant must submit:
-- a Letter of Application describing the applicant's background and current
activities, clearly indicating why the applicant merits consideration for an
ARSC Conference Travel Grant
-- a Proposed Budget for travel costs
-- Itemization of Any Non-ARSC Funds that the applicant may receive toward
ARSC conference attendance, such as institutional support, etc., and
-- a brief Resume or Curriculum Vitae.

Additionally, the applicant shall arrange for two Letters of Support, to be
directly submitted by the writers of those letters -- not the applicant.

Applications lacking any of the above items will be deemed incomplete, and
may not be viewed favorably by the Travel Grants Committee.

Submit all items to David R. Lewis, ARSC Conference Travel Grants Committee
Chair:
arsc.travel.gra...@gmail.com

If you anticipate any problem with e-submission, please contact the chair at
the above address.

All applications and supporting materials must be received by December 16,
2016.

Applicants will be notified about the award decisions by January 23, 2017.

What size are you looking for?  


I bought mine last year from Rich Gordon. He sold tubes to me that are 1 1/2 
inside diameter and 3" long with caps. Note there are some cylinder cabinets 
that take a tube with an  inside diameter slightly larger than 1 1/2.

I think the only person still making them is Jim. They come with the tops  
already in place and complete. Just glue them in. He can be reached at
