[78-L] Timeless

[gmail - i.collect.records]

Did anyone catch last night's ep of Timeless? It was about Robert 
Johnson recording in San Antonio in 1936.

Purty kewl seeing the recorder, altho I am not sure it was accurate for 
1936, not that I would know. I was expecting to see lacquers, but what 
they showed looked more like shellac discs, not even wax as I've seen in 
films from that period. Vocalion was prominent on the label. I'm not 
even sure recording blanks of the time would have had a paper label.

So what tech would have been used in 1936 for making location 
recordings? Is there info on what was used specifically for Johnson's 
recordings from 1936?
