Hi Dan,

From what I've been told by a friend who is a history buff, supertone/columbia/capitol rolls have the holes to sync up the performance with the lyrics. These used a special machine, I don't know how it worked exactly, but it would stamp the next set of lyrics when the perforation was triggered. They even advertised this on some columbia rolls as a "new synchronized process" or something around those lines.

Thanks for that , sounds very interesting indeed :)

Have you considered getting this roll recut?

Hi,

Yes I'd love to have this roll recut, but I'm not able to fund a significant recut project (what I consider about 20-30 copies) right now.
