Nick Bergh did a presentation at ARSC about his research on Western
Electric equipment which includes info on frequency response and curves.
He and his colleagues have a lot of the actual equipment and are
starting to decode some of the technical notations in the Victor ledgers
and the changes and improvements that were being made over the years. 
He also knows a lot about all other recording equipment available in the
30s and 40s.
