"Sumner  Tainter's 1881 Home Notes that appeared in "For the Record" the 
organ of the  City of London Antique Phonograph and Gramophone Society that 
suggest that  Tainter, not Berliner, was the originator of lateral cut wax 
disc recording as  well as the acid etched duplicating process..." 


-----------------
Do the Notes indicate why Tainter abandoned the "zig-zag" recording,  and 
persisted in his hillandale methods?
 
  Berliner was quite able to obtain his (workable) lateral  recording 
patents (1887 on) without legal or other interference from  Tainter. As a matter 
of fact, even Edison (pre-Tainter) discussed lateral  recording in his first 
patent of 1878. Bell/Tainter's famous 341,214 does  not even mention 
lateral recording.
