A new electrical sound recording machine was bought from Sound 
Specialties Company, Waterbury, Conn., U.S.A., to replace the old Edison 
cylinder phonographs hitherto used for recording and repeating Indian and 
Eskimo songs and other oral records. The old wax cylinders are no longer 
obtainable and are subject to mould and rapid wear. With the new machine, 
which records on aluminium disks, it is proposed to transcribe in this modern 
and durable form, as time permits, the large collection of wax records. The 
new machine can be used in the field for recording as well as for copying 
and playing records.
