[78-L] Layers of lacquer?

[Thatcher Graham]

I'll scan one or two of them, the really irregular nature looks to me 
like it was perhaps dipped in vertically and perhaps rotated. there's 
nothing consistent to me that  in the layers that would suggest a sheet 
but, it's hard to say...  I certainly have others that have absolutely 
perfect coverage that reveals nnothing about the manufacture process.

>> I was asked this morning how the aluminum-lacquer ("acetate") records were made, and I realized that I really didn’t know.  Specifically, were the discs dipped in a vat or what?  I used to think so, but I’ve seen a few that had a straight edge along the outer rim that indicated to me that maybe a ribbon of lacquer was aid on the discs.  And, I suppose, it may have varied from Presto to Wilcox etc.  I’m sure somebody (paging Dr Biel) out there knows.  It may even have been discussed/answered here before, but not under a meaningful subject title that could be searched, of course.
