treasure house of music the originals of the finest records ever made by victor the music of the world's greatest artists of past and present these are the master discs from which millions of great records have been pressed i heard the voice of  and i saw no records made music literally written in  the first step i learned is to pour a thin layer of molten wax onto a hot plate the beginning of the master record a hot flame else all bubbles and flaws out of the wax which is of the purest possible gravy this is meticulous examination perfection before the access pass through a special slot to the recording room the perfect wax is put on the turntable a cutting point called the sound engineer is ready the musicians are set i see a record made the engineer mixes the sound to achieve the best musical balance in the when the recording is finished the soft this is washed with nitrogen and put into a chamber with a blot of pure gold a twenty five hundred volt electrical current i was amazed to learn bombards atoms of gold down to the wax coating in a second bath the copper coating is further build up in these bads electricity flows through the solution between two poles one a block of copper and the other the disc itself when the cone passes from  into the solution it carries with it charged molecules of metal called ions which are drawn to that this can penetrate its tiniest recesses taking the exact shape of the grooves made by the original sound vibrations ensuring perfect but it would not last long enough to take out the millions of this music lovers demand hence another disc called a mother matrix must be made first and from that standpoint as will be made to press the final records then it's given another electrolytic bath this time of nickel which i learned gives it a still harder outer coating after this bath a master is washed and dipped into a special solution that coated with a fine film now into another cop a bath and this time the mother matrix starts to build up on the face of the master taking the shape of the same grooves capturing again this we are told is of the flowing music double disc is now separated into mother and master and the master matrix goes down to the treasure house of music to be preserved for all time to take its place beside the works of the world's greatest  after another washing and film coating it goes into another copper bath where the stamping matrix starts to build up the double disk bubbles in its bass until the tiny electrified particles of copper go into law hard strong coating and the plating is finished before the stamper is ready to use it receives a nickel plating and then another coat this time of hard gleaming chromium to give it resistance enough to last through many pressing the matrix is washed once more and now with other stampers it will soon be ready to press the finished record or still greater strain the completed matrix is started to a rigid backing or perfect contact with the hot backing the stamper is heated with flame protracted with a chemically neutral blanket and pressed evenly into the hot when the gleaming disc is removed from the press it is ready for the next operation the centering of the hole around which the finished record will revolve this delicate mechanism centers the hole with meticulous precision and is checked by looking through the magnifier i saw the rotating grooves of the music itself caught on the record carefully the technician centers the disc and with the lens he checks again create the smallest paul sound on this revolving cleaning machine i saw the disk receive its final polishing but before going to the actual pressing of records i was shown the mixing of the materials that go into the disc you here at home ingredients gathered from the farthest corners of the earth the materials are processed in one of the largest and most intricate machines i have ever seen the bend very mixe one ingredient is the finest shellacked obtainable which is brought from india another resin ingredient is from the east indies and like the shellacked is ground into a fine powder before mixing now all is ready and the banbury mixer rolls inside this huge machine three stories tall the mixture is heated to the melting point with stones stirred and beaten until it is  mixed to a dull like consistency the hot mixture falls out on great rollers where it is needed and rolled into a long flat she as it comes out of the machine circular knives cut it into pieces called a biscuit each the right size to make one wrec the biscuits called for easy handling come off the belt in neat little piles but before they are used for actual pressing they must be heated again on steam tables then i saw a record  pressed first steam a shot through the machine then cold water runs through t two different stay in prison are used in the machine at the same time to press the two sides of the record simultaneously the labels are put in before the biscuit i learn then actually press into the record not just pasted on many presses working at the same time turn out many records together to satisfy their music hungry thousand the edge of the record is carefully polished after this is finished comes a listening test when the record is  from this room the records go out to all parts of the world to bring joy and pleasure to millions of music lovers to give them permanently the music they want when they want it the genius of artist and engineer the work of many hands have brought the record to its destination from its tiny grooves the recorded vibrations of sound will be picked up by the jewel point amplified electric the beautiful blue danube fulfills its mission in an ideal combination for the home no matter what it is you want to hear at your command performance it is recorded for you by the world's greatest
