For some non-US material, I would advocate the British magazines Talking
Machine News and Sound Wave, which are accessible at the British Library
(Newspaper Library) in Colindale, North London.
    I boiled these down to provide dating tables some years ago, and if
you'd like to contact me offline (<[log in to unmask]>), I could at
least supply the tradenames of the period and the years they were active in
Britain.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Cylinder Mfgs

Hello. New to the list, and I was unable to search the archives of this
list (function was not functioning, I think it had a coming soon message).
So I hope you accept my apologies if this has already been covered...

I was wondering if anyone on the list had and could email me
a "comprehensive" list of cylinder mfgs both us and non-us. And if anyone
knows the name(s) of an expert in the catalogs of each manufacturers. I
have "edison" covered for help with those catalogs, but the others?

For example, maybe someone can point me to someone who has researched the
columbia catalog, or someone who has researched the lambert, or the US
indestructible, etc.

I am trying to do some research on the breadth of manufacturers and the
approximate size of their catalogs and to research quirks with their
catalogs (duplicate numbers in particular).

Any way, thanks very much for any info or way pointing!
