This information begs the question:  Were dealers able to  record on Diamond 
Discs?  I've only seen pictures of recording equipment  used at the Edison 
plant.  I didn't know this was lent or sold to  dealers.  
If it wasn't--could someone have used even Victor or other  lateral recording 
equipment on a blank Edison disc?  How weird would that  be?
