[78-L] Playing wax records (cylinders) by cooling them down

[Milan P Milovanovic]

About a year ago, I've heard advice from the son of one sound engineer who 
recorded location recordings on wax discs (around 1930) that he used cooling 
down technique (i.e. getting record player in refrigerator) for wax disc to 
tape transfers.
