Hello This machine is a PARLOPHONE, and you'd have to be pretty skilled to dictate on to this model as its only a cylinder shaver. PARLOPHONE also made Cylinder Dictating machines, and the one of the same era as the shaver is in a black metal case, usually on a metal trolley with wheels. regards Robert Hi, http://tinyurl.com/3cmak Were there other companies beside Edison who made these?

Hi Loran Sorry did'nt see your mail before I made a reply. One can see in the photo's the large drawer for the swarf (?shaved of wax). So its a fairly industrial strength machine. I havent tried to connect mine to the power supply to see how well it works in case I do damage to the national grid or myself. regards Hi, http://tinyurl.com/3cmak Were there other companies beside Edison who made these?

It's just a run-of-the-mill office Dictaphone shaver. I've got one that I picked up for $20. I'd be willing to sell it for half of that guy's buy-it-now price ;) Loran On Thu, 2004-05-20 at 13:09, Robert Plavzic wrote: Hi Loran Sorry did'nt see your mail before I made a reply.

Hi John, Amazing, and extremely interesting, thanks for the information, I never realized this could happen, my Model A standard will barely shave and has to be put in 4 minute so I would never have thought of this. Thanks again, Steve The heavy dictation cylinders are spun at a very high RPM on these shavers. Inspect the cylinder before you shave it for nicks in the rim or cracks. Set the shaving blade to make light passes on the cylinder. Close lid when shaving. When shaving a cylinder, close the lid almost all the way before you flip the switch on, and flip switch off before fully raising lid. Failure to observe one or a combination of any of these factors may result in a chunk of cylinder hitting you so hard in the forehead you will see stars. Voice of experience. Very possible to take out an eye, break a nose or teeth. John M com
