BBC Test on Lacquer Discs

A spot for keeping track of especially cool (informative, fun) videos, photos, scans and other links about record cutting. (You can post them in other sections. Eventually they may end up here.) NOTE: Please put *Circuits, Schematics and Manuals* in the section with that name.

Here's an odd one from August 1947. A BBC Test Report on various brands of lacquer discs, including:

EMI (UK)
Pyral (France)
Audex (Australia)
Cellodisc (Holland)
MSS (UK)

Interesting, many, especially for audiophile world.
MSS mean Margherite Sound System - England.

Ah, sorry, but I haven't seen the Flickr pic; yes the Master sound system was probably one type of lacquer disc better than other types that them produced in the past.
