[78-L] Orthophonic as a trademark

[Alana Anne Gavrilis]

Actually, "orthos" IS Greek for "true", and orthophonic "true sound".

Every Sunday, we orthodox get to hear the Orthos (literally, "The
Truth") morning prayer. [orthodoxy = orthos + doxa = true praise]

Compared to the acoustic records they replaced, and what we can harvest from them using today's equipment, that is exactly what they were.
