Edison’s chief chemist, Dr. Jonas Aylsworth, was working on a plastic material for discs. His goal was to make a top-quality disc that would outdo the manufacturing rivals’ shellac records (known for wearing and warping.) Their ten-inch records ran for five minutes on each side.
The finished Edison ten-inch discs weighed ten ounces and were 1/4 of an inch thick. A diamond point was used as the stylus (needle), which moved from side-to-side. The discs were expensive because of the complex chemical processes used to make them. However, Edison claimed that “his records could be played 1,000 times without wear.”
The Disc Phonograph and the Edison Discs were designed to be an entire system. In late 1912, there were three basic models. By 1929, the Edison Company introduced the Edison Portable Disc Phonograph, a complete package, which offered the Diamond Discs, the new steel needle records, and a converter for the needle which allowed older discs to be played with the new steel needle.
