Can anyone provide an approximate idea of how long the following Pathé label designs
were in use?
The "miroir de la voix" (1929-30 at least):

The square w/four segments:

About when were lateral issues introduced and the vertical ones retired? I think there may
have been some overlap in the formats' availability.
Finally, how late was the Pathé name used on records? It was still in use quite a ways
into the microgroove era (as part of the EMI combine, of course, having been acquired
by Columbia Graphophone in 1928).
