Edison was planning to make 12 inch records, page 67 of the Frow DD book
discusses this.

It's actually a very convenient thing, helping to reduce the awkwardness of the
little flip lever and likely preventing stylus damage from missing the edge of
the record.
I think they came out around the same time as the LP system, where protecting
the fine LP stylus was even more crucial.
Yes, there were 12 disks and special reproducers and styli to play them.
The groove is extremely fine. The phono had to be dead level too, I
believe. The 10/12 buttons activated a stop to the amount the horn would
swing by means of a small arm attached to the top edge of the horn.

I concur that the button makes it easier, especially on a nice, well-lubricated
machine where it's easy to go too far and then swinging all that mass back over
to the right (without going too far again), prior to setting the diamond down
on the disc. I don't speed through, but it's a lot of
Twelve-inch discs were recorded in preparation for a new series, but the
Long Playing program was decided upon,. instead. 12 masters had been
recorded as far back as 1910, too. Problems with the gold-sputtering process
supposedly stopped the early issue of 12inch Edisons, plus the fact that
the sample records are twelve inch

Interesting. The 10 - 12 buttons on my first DD also were on a
BC-34. I've only ever seen them on that one and some Laboratory Model
C-19's. Anyone out there have them on other models??
