[Phono-L] Hardware on Victor M

[Jay Horenstein]

I thought it might be for a crane designed (probably never marketed) for use
as additional support on a very large and/or heavy back mount horn.

That's what I always thought;  possibly to hold a crane for a front mount? 
However every front mount Victor or Columbia I've ever seen has a cradle at 
the front of the traveling arm to hold the horn,.  Someone out there must 
know what it's for.
