The grooves look exactly like 14 Pathe grooves. I've been using the standard Pathe sapphire ball stylus to play mine and it works great. - Original Message - From: BruceY bruce78...@comcast.net To: Antique Phonograph List phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 6:55 AM

Oh, so even though these are Actuelles, they are basically vertical grooves as with the 14 Pathes? Interesting. Do you own one of those Big Pathe machines to play those, or are you using the saphire ball needle on a different machine with a vertical groove setting? Bruce - Original Message

From what I understand, they were all produced by Pathe for the same application. I have some of each label as well. The Pathe labels might lead one to think they'd be lateral-cut, since the label info Pathe Actuelle, copyright 1920, etc., is the same as Pathe's American laterals, but

To transfer them, I'm using a modern turntable that handles 16 transcriptions and setting the audio to Vertical with one of those little KAB boxes (highly recommended, Kevin really knows what he's doing). To play them acoustically, I've fashioned a Pathe Diffuser type of playback assembly out

Greg, et.al. -- The fact that Morgan contracted Edison to invent metered power is the reason he dropped research on the phonograph like a hot potato in 1878 and plunged full on into the light bulb, etc. Wifey started out in life with a degree in psychology and a job as a state-paid social
