[78-L] groove size again

[Michael Biel]

Easily it would be the VERY wide groove Pathe used for those GIANT
20-inch discs.  I've only seen one player in operation and I do not
remember the width relative to the normal Pathe sapphire.

Hard to say...since 78's didn't have an "official" size for the first
two or 
three
decades of their existence! I have a couple of Grey Gull discs whose
grooves
are so wide they don't play very well; however, I suspect that was NOT
intended...?!
