Was searching through some of the Doc's the park service has published of the Edison site and found a few interesting comments among them in memo's and wondered if it was really true..
Arthur Walsh comments near the end that Disc Records were "always a looser" as far as he could tell in terms of money and then provides data from accounting showing that indeed from 1925- they lost around the tune of 1.7MM. Is that really true - even when sales were brisk in 1918-22 that Diamond Discs lost Edison money? Or is that not the whole picture.. Also interesting was a comment that Blue Amberol Cylinders had lost money since 1927 and the implication is that while small in sales it was profitable to make Blue Amberol records up until very close to the end of the Phonograph division.
