At a luncheon in Princess Restaurant, lioridon, recently, Mr G. -Clroydon Marks, M.P., chairman of- the National PhonograpTi Company, Limited, gave -am account ;of the development of the phonograph.

In the new record they are 200 to? the inch. The additional lines, instead of making the record less distinct, have had the opposite effect. The length of thread or line that passes- round the (Amberol' record produced by Edison, from the beginning to the end of its performance, would cover a distance of 5076 inches, and thirteen 'AmfcerbF records would measure a mile of m:us«j."
