Ron, The photo that Tim has posted is NOT the STRAIGHT, BRASS BELLED grain-painted horn that Bruce was talking about.? Tim's photo shows the FLOWER horn that was substituted for the Allen Paper Lacquer Horn on the Victor "VI" during the Russo-Japanese War.

So, it's clear at least TWO (and surely more) types were used as substitutes.

You will see the interior of the Schoolhouse which is now a museum and home of the local Historical Society, in addition you will also see two very nice vintage autos owned by our members as well as the collectors and their Talking machines. Here is a link to a great slide show of photos, put together by our Official photographer, MOCAPS member Jack Whelan. Go to the link and Just click on the August Mocaps Meeting and then turn up your volume. It will take a little while for the slide show to get going, and there are some pauses in the photos here and there, but it is well worth watching for the entire 5 minutes. Hope you enjoy it. http://www.phonojack.com/Shows.htm Best Regards, Bruce From [email protected] Mon Aug 13 19:18:07 2007 From: [email protected] ([email protected]) Date: Mon Aug 13 19:20:32 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] Auxetophone Sold! Message-ID: <[email protected]> Dear Ron: In thinking about "morning glory" horn verses "cygnet" horn one has to take into consideration that the "cygnet" horns are generally attached to the reproducer of a cylinder phonograph whereas the "morning glory" horns are connected to the soundbox of lateral-cut disk machines through the tone arm so the sound passage must include the "morning glory" horn in combination with the tone arm & this combination would more generally approximate an exponential horn than the "cygnet" horn alone.
