[78-L] Early portable electric recording?

[david.diehl at hensteeth.com]

There is an undated picture of a Starr Piano Co. moving van painted up with "Gennett Recording Laboratories" on the cover of 78 Quarterly #7. This would have been Photophone rather than Western Electric but the scale must have been similar.

I'm trying to get a sense ofhow difficult it would be to haul the stuff around. Maybe there's apicture on the web somewhere?cheers,Dave
