Obviously, the people who created this scam are very bright and imaginative people. I have always found it odd that people who are clearly talented enough to make a very nice living for themselves in legitimate enterprises are so drawn to unlawful, unethical ones like this.

By 1926, Edison Labs completed their work and the company commercially offered two record sizes: 10-inch diameter and 12-inch diameter. In 1927, Theodore personally worked on a refinement project to electrically record the LPs. All Edison LP records had 450tpi grooves, and required a special "Edisonic" reproducer to play them. Edison offered both special console phonographs and conversion kits to play these records. The LP records were a failure because they often skipped and repeated during play. I think they were withdrawn from the product line around 1927. -Phil
