NEW PHONOGRAPH RECORDS.

f OF-WASTE PAPER. LONDON, July 1. Dir Launcelot Gaunt, managing director of a company which is launching unbreakable gramophone records on the market, explains that the records are made of waste paper. The cheapest paper, says Mr Gaunt, makes the best records, and these are printed as easily and as quickly as a newspaper. The whole secret is the finishing process, and the secret is closely guarded.. Out-of-date records can be recalled and reprinted at the cost of a halfpenny. Mr Gaunt, who is a Victorian, says that a double-sided record can be split to make two single records, whose excellence will not be impaired in the process. MELBOURNE, July 2.
