content: The Harrington sound recording were made on wax cylinders, alumunim discs, and magnetic tape. The wax cylinders are described here in spite of the fact that they were transferred to the Library of Congress Folklife Division in the early 1980s and no copies have yet been furnished by the Library to NAA. Most of what remains are aluminum discs and a few tapes.
