[78-L] Early portable electric recording? [FWD]

[GENE JOSLIN]

Mike:  Have you tried "Virtual Radiogram".  This site, reachable by Google, deals with first electric theatre organ recordings.  There are two "click heres" for expanded information.

I've seen pictures of the HMV mobile van, but I'm buggeed if I can find 'em on Google....  I think there might be one in the book "Elgar on
Record", if aybody has it and could put up a scan.  HMV used it at Covent Garden in 1926 and at Three Choirs festivals to record Elgar conducting.
One site the came up on G referred to a 'mobile van and landlines' which makes me wonder if the cutting turntables were in the van, ir if it were only the control panel feeding a phone line back to the studio....? 

FWIW.  Mike in Plovdiv
