[78-L] OT? question about RCA Program Transcription audio books

[David Lennick]

There are many others, produced by the American Federation of the Blind. Victor 
and Columbia manufactured them beginning around 1933. If you look here you may 
find some more, as well as virtually every 33RPM 10-inch and 12-inch master 
recorded by Victor..Program Transcriptions, radio commercials, demo discs. 14 
and 16 inch discs aren't listed.

And you may have to turn your head sideways to read the listings, unless your 
eyeballs are mounted vertically..of course you can always print them out, but 
where's the challenge in that?
