Can someone educate me on what the small wood box was for, that's
found in the horn compartment in some early Edison Disc Phonographs?
The size is 7" long by 3.5" wide, by 3" tall, and it has a wedge
shaped block inside that has two 3/4" holes side by side that are 3 to
3.5 inches deep.
The wedge block, which is glued in, occupies about half of the
interior volume of the box.
I assume this contained a kit of lubricants, possibly an oil can,
etc., but it would be great to know in more detail what its original
purpose was, and greater still to see a photo of how it was equipped
when new. Does anyone know when they stopped doing this?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
