For anyone interested in radio history, and particularly the non-BBC UK variety, perhaps I can recommend a two-part documentary on BBC Radio 2 about Radio Luxembourg? Part one is broadcast on 31 May at 22.00 UK time, and deals mostly with the pre-war era. The second part is on 7 June at the same time, and covers post-war up to the station's final transmissions to the UK.

This is the story of how Seamus Ennis, Alan Lomax et al collected Irish traditional material, some of which became the eponymous LP.
The Home was one of the most durable Edison machines. It was launched in 1896 and continued in production, with improvements, until 1913. This Type 3 version dates from around 1900. The basic layout is the same as the Class M and the Spring Motor. The feedscrew is shown on the left, parallel to the mandrel and taking drive to it, whilst at the same time driving the reproducer and horn which move from left to right as they track the groove and play the music. On the right of the picture is the gate with a bearing that supports the mandrel while playing, but can be easily flipped out of the way to change cylinders. Dimensions: Width: 420 mm Height (inc horn): 500 mm Depth: 190 mm
