[78-L] World 1920s Records

[RUSSELL BARNES]

Although I'm not able to add much to the theme of this discussion, I can add that a Mr. Pemberton-Billings (who I gather was behind World Records) lived in a cottage here in Dorset.    I only discovered this when I purchased (in a small Dorset auction room) some forty or more discs plus a speed controller - and a World Catalogue.
 
These came from the cottage (the contents of which were sold at Auction),

Yes they start at 33 and go at least to 78 rpm. The speed very gradually
increases like ajusting the speed or pitch control on a cassette or open
reel recorder 

I have tried all variations settings with no luck.

I have a few of the world record controlers that mount on a tabletop or
consol gramophone but the rubber rims are perished which is the case with
everyone I've seen. Otherwise I would be tempted to use a gramophone with an
electic pick-up if I had to.

I'll give Jeff's settings a try. 

Thanks, Jamie

Don't they go from approximately 33.3 to 78 or vice versa? Norman Field has
successfully transferred at least one, which you can SEE on his website, but
the link showing the control apparatus is outdated. Norman..come back to the
Field, er fold!
