- "There are many kinds of records but to-day we speak of phonograph records first the performers sing and play into a recording machine where a wax impression is made."
M/S of operatic style singer singing into a large recording instrument. "The wax impression is graphited and placed in a special bath." C/U of man placing the wax record onto a machine. He presses a button so that the record revolves and he rubs something onto the disc. M/S of man standing beside a large tank of liquid. The record is lowered into the bath. "Twelve hours later a metal shell has been formed and it is taken out." M/S of the disc being removed from the bath. "The metal shell is then stripped from the wax impression and placed in a nickel bath, forming what is known as the "Master Record." M/S of man at work stripping the metal shell. The two pieces are separated and presented to the camera. The metal disks are again placed into a bath. "A heavy steel backing is placed on this master record." M/S of man in overalls at work on a vice. "Records are made from a composition of shellac, lampblack and clay, which is mixed and pressed between large heated rollers." M/S of man lifting great big coils of the material into a press. The substance goes through some rollers and emerges flat on the other side. Another worker collects the flattened substance. It is then put through another set of rollers. "The composition is then spread between two master records and under hydraulic pressure the softer composition is moulded into the record so familiar to all." C/U of the soft material being placed on top of the mould and pressed down. The other side of the metal mould is placed on top then the whole thing is placed in a vice. The vice is lowered, the mould removed, a nail banged through the middle for the hole, mould is taken off and voila! A record. M/S of completed gramophone record being presented to the camera.
2 safety prints exist - no neg.
Note: I think that this is probably an American item.

Thanks for uploading this
90 years later, the only thing that has changed is the way the first impression is made. Wax cylinders and large horn microphones are not used anymore.
This is the process of making an acoustic record, after 1924 electrical recordings were developed.
This need some of that old ragtime music to it.
Shellac is very brittle.
Awesome performance
Slow the speed down to 75% and it looks almost normal. Can't understand why they don't automatically do that with film that's obviously going too fast.
At 3:14 we can see why so many 78s were pressed off-center, producing WOW. They don't even bother to find the center.
Amazing to see this.
Awesome
Do they still have the old original victrola records like Harry c brown and Silas leachman
Interesting that they don't show the dubbing process from the original cylinder master...
Yeh, missed that part didnt they?
I don’t think this video was originally produced by Pathe, just seems to be hosted by them now
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.
John 3:16
Romans 3:23❤😊❤❤😊
@@MrRom92DAWnah, you can see the Pathe label on a disc shown at 3:20
How are records mass produced?
And what’s IN that original machine cutting the original master disk while the lady sings into it? How were they able to do this in times when electricity, computers and tapes were not invented?
Mmmm😊

This recording technique was stolen from Sharangdhar sangeet granth.
This seems like a small record company, not one of the big three, as the process looks much more manual than to be practical for a big company like Victor or Columbia. Or i'm stupid.
All that bother..Nah.not worth the time and effort
