Shane,
Those were the last version of the Edison voice writer used in offices, etc. for dictation.

Oh- ok. I didn't even know there was a disc voice writer! I'll have to see if I can find a picture of one on the net somewhere. I thought it was a bit strange having red "vinyl" diamond disc blanks  |

They were actually used up to the 60s!

Wax dictation cylinders were in general use into the 1960's, even after plastic belts and discs were marketed by Dictaphone and Ediphone. After invention of the tape cassette by North American Phillips about 1965, even the Edison Company switched to tapes which were called Edisettes. These were the last audio products made by Edison. tinyurl.com/yfdrcg |
