(Schoenherr): "The Smithsonian has one earlier copper electroplated disc deposited Feb. 28, 1880 (NMAH #312,119), but it is unidentified." --------------- I may have missed some details here, but what disc (diameter?) was deposited (by?) on Feb 28, 1880? Is it "unidentified" because there is no detailed accession card, or because the contents of the disc have not been looked at? "Samuel Tainter" indeed! That date is before the formation of the Volta Labs. Allen _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
