Two new inventions Of Thomas A. Edison which will
be of farreaching effect in the phonograph field,
displayed for the first time in Flagstaff last
week by Jno R. Lewis special representative Of
the Edison Laboratories at Orange New Jersey.
They consist of a Loud Dance Reproducer and a
Long Playing Record.
The former gives two and half fold increase in
volume the standard reproducer without
distortion Of any sort, and permits the phono-
graph to be used for dancing even in large hail.
The Long Playing Record furnishes 40 minute
program, being capable Of playing five 4-fninute
selections on each side. Such revolutionary adj
vance in the art can not fail to attract widespread
attention. for it will now be possible to furnish
complete programs Of music instead of single Sc
lectons. Entire symphonies, acts from operas,
dance programs, and dinner music are only few
of the many possibilities.
Each invention can be used on the present Edison
disc phonograph.
