What did they have for electric recording equipment, I wonder?  Similar to
the mystery equipment Paramount had?  As bad as anything not known to be
recorded with Western Electric equipment is known to often be, who else was
making (and perhaps selling as opposed to leasing) recording equipment in
the mid/late 1920s?  And where is there any information on it (and pix,
etc.)?
