[78-L] Is this vertical cut?

[Glenn Longwell]

Thanks.  The seller also said it looked like vertical to him.  I was looking for something a bit more concrete than that from him.  But your similar comment and the dating guide points to vertical so that helps answer it.  My Talking Machine World scans start in 1919 so I miss the early series.  There's also 54000, 22000, 30000, 34000 and others.

What I could see of the grooves looks like a vertical cut. (Then there's that 
awful "plays on any phonograph", which from the transfers I've heard has to be 
the unkindest cut of all. Rimshot.)
