actually the gramophone was the device that played the record. " *gramophone record* (*phonograph record* in American English <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_English>) or *vinyl record*, commonly known as "a *record*", is an analog <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_signal> sound <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound> storage medium <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recording_medium> in the form of a flat polyvinyl chloride <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride> (previously shellac <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellac>) disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral> groove. The groove usually starts near the periphery and ends near the center of the disc. Phonograph records are generally described by their diameter <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter> in inches (12", 10", 7"), the rotational speed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_speed> in rpm <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute> at which they are played (331⁄3, 45, 78), and their time capacity resulting from a combination of those parameters (LP − long playing, SP − single, EP − 12" single or extended play); their reproductive quality or "fidelity <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidelity>" ("high fidelity", "orthophonic", "full-range", etc.), and the number of audio channels provided ("mono <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaural>", "stereo <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereophonic_sound>", "quad <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadraphonic_sound>", etc.)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramophone_record On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 3:00 PM, Cathy L Kimball <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Recordings were not on vinyl--Caruso was on gramophone > > -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte https://groups.google.com/d/forum/archives-in-the-news http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz #*CantbeworsethanPeterk* <https://twitter.com/hashtag/CantbeworsethanPeterk?src=hash> Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
