Percival Marshall gramophone message?

Forgive me for re-using your pun, but ...

I don't think there is any point ... the asymmetry appears to be accidental

... There are certainly no instructions provided regarding orientation.

Very likely to be the actual thorn, I would say: We have Hawthorn trees in the field behind the house, and some of the thorns are impressive to say the least [and they do make very good material for crafting miniature items]

I suspect [but have yet to find any proof] that thorns were harvested, and used for their special properties.

Edit: I have just looked at the [His Master's Voice] packet, and I see that the needles are described as thorn

Not Thorn EMI, then!

Thanks for your reply above re the tip; I speculated that the shape might be a response to the difference between the inside and outside of the recording groove.

This is just the thing, thank you!

Well done TomK.

Now wouldn't it be good if we had a search that actually worked on this forum?

Perhaps Neil could record that message and play it a few times to his bosses. It would be well worth the 2/6.

Thankyuo SM for that information - very useful. They were collected by my father and somewhere I have the list he made with all the dates of the collection. I will have a look and see if there is anything valuable.

Have you followed the link to the Percival Marshall recording?

Neil

Yes, of course, Neil

... I did try to protect your income of Florins though
