IIRC, Edison was down to one studio by that point, so his output was
easier to control. Acoustic today, electric tomorrow. Victor had studios
in NY, Camden, and Oakland that I know of, and electrical was phased in
while acoustic was still being used. Columbia likewise had NY and
probably Bridgeport - did they have a west coast presence then?
