[78-L] Pathe 20" use, was pizza sizes

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

All this discussion about pizza sizes has reminded me of a question I've 
been meaning to ask.

I've read that 20" Pathe records were intended mainly for "commercial" 
use, canned music for outdoor events and such.

How were they sold? To regular retail customers (would they own a 
machine to play these monsters?) along side of conventionally sized 
records, or thru some other industrial outlet directed at a different 
market?
