-- ARSC GRANTS PROGRAM -- The ARSC Grants Program supports projects, scholarship, and publication in the fields of sound recording and audio preservation. Projects eligible for support include discography, bibliography, historical studies of the sound recording industry and its products, and any other subject likely to increase the public's understanding and appreciation of the lasting importance of recorded sound. ARSC encourages applications from individuals whose research forms part of an academic program at the master's or doctoral level. Both ARSC members and non-members are eligible for grants in amounts up to $1000. Grant funds can be used to underwrite clerical, travel, and editorial expenses. Funds may not be used to purchase capital equipment or recordings, to reimburse applicants for work already performed, or to support projects that form part of a job. Applications for an ARSC Grant should include: -- A summary of the project (one page maximum), with samples of the work, if possible. -- A budget covering the entire project and highlighting the expenses the ARSC Grant will cover (one page maximum). -- A curriculum vitae. -- An indication of the prospects for publication or other public presentation of the project results. Applications should be sent to Richard Warren, Grants Committee Chairman, Historical Sound Recordings, Yale University Library, P. O. Box 208240, New Haven, CT 06520-8240, U.S.A. The deadline for receipt of applications is February 28, 2005. Anna-Maria Manuel ARSC Outreach Committee Chair From [email protected] Sat Dec 4 21:56:22 2004 From: [email protected] (Bob Maffit) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:09:55 2006 Subject: [Phono-L] Edison phono question Message-ID: <000801c4da8f$25f4df80$931b9...@maffit> Hi list: I was in an antique shop the other day and ran across an Edison diamond disk player. It had a feature That I hadn't seen before. At the left of the works, between the platter and bedplate were 2 buttons that had a "10" and the other had a "12" on it. I presume it has something to do with the speed or size of record to be played. Any information and response explaining this feature would be appreciated. thanks in advance Bob
