[78-L] Length of jazz recordings

[Milan Milovanovic]

Really interesting aspect of recording sessions!

But, were all recordings from 1939 recorded only on 16" cutter, and later 
dub to 78 rpm master lacquer discs? I think I've read somewhere that there 
were simultaneous cutter machines running - and that 16" were backup only?
