[78-L] 78-L Digest

[James Tennyson]

If you go to this website 
http://www.davidsarnoff.org/sooyh-maintext1909.htm   and scroll down to the 
section dealing with the events of 1917 you can read Harry Sooy's account of 
the recording. The recording turned out to be rather a dud. I have seen 
another photograph with the engineers bent over the recording lathe. Harrym 
by the way,  was one of the three Sooy brothers who were Victor's primary 
recording engineers from the acoustic era and on itnto  the electrical age. 
Although the account here is by Harry, I THINK the  bald headed man man in 
the picture is his brother Raymond.  Harry may be the blurred one to his 
right, but don't quote me on this.

according to the liner notes - the last time the bell
was struck was on D-day - but the question was about the
acoustic recording of 1917

just to put us back on track a bit :-)
