Description

Edison works on solving the problem of surface noise on phonograph records

ANS, in pencil, signed “E,” one page, lightly-lined, 5 x 8, no date. Note in the blank upper and lower portions of a letter sent to Edison, dated August 24, 1925, from F. S. Blinne, an assistant who was working on the phonograph. Blinne writes: “Mr. Hart has told me that you want me to listen to the recordings in New York to determine whether there is any connection between the surface noise and the suction machine. Will I need any identification other than to introduce myself?” Edison responds “You can listen at Studio here. Ask Werner to track a blank for you using air blow-off.” In very good condition, with a few scattered creases, uniform toning, and expected light soiling. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
