The First "Talking Books for the Blind" gramophone C 1935

Here i show the "St Dunstan's "model probably made by Decca c 1935 which plays shellac "Talking Books" at 16rpm - they last 25 mis per side (it will also play 78's as well) either through a small horn or through Ear tubes

wait wait, was it talking about electric currents going through women? Is that what you stated their Colonel?

You might be too much of a Gentleman to state it exactly but what was the their experiment? :S

[EMGColonel]

@MrNightlyProductions That is precisely what i said - they use "Medical terminology" that is fine for Doctors but NOT for the delicate ears of my audience !

It actually describes what they did with the electrical probes and how the parts "treated" reacted !!!!!!!!!

will it play regular 78s or is it just 16s also since its such a small soundbox will it play regular 45s and 33s that would be fun

[EMGColonel]

@kirtley2010 YES it will lay regular 78rpm records.............as to the others - we shall find out !

That's amazing ! I wonder if it can also revolve at 33.3 and play the RCA program transcription records ? The subject matter of your talking record is also very controversial and interesting as well. Good show !

[EMGColonel]

@NEWbobofhollywood It will probably play them BUT it will only take 10" and 12" records as the stand prevents any larger records from revolving

@EMGColonel

I appreciate and admire the early twentieth century and late nineteenth century, but some things of those eras still shock me today XD.

Completely fascinating. Thank you, as ever, for posting such interesting material.

That would work because the 1931 to 1933 RCA program transcriptions were 10 and 12 inch in size ! Thanks .
