Table of Contents

From Volume 2
This book details the efforts and accomplishments of the American Graphophone Company and its successors in the production and marketing of the talking machines marked under the Columbia banner, and variously referred to as Graphophones, Grafonolas, or Phonographs.

This book can be thought of as containing a giant Columbia catalog - the catalog that the company itself might have produced had all the machines been available at once.

This book is intended to be a guide for collectors and owners of any Columbia disc machines. It provides a company history and interesting facts relating to the development of the company, its products, and the industry as a whole. Original factory illustrations of machines are used throughout, and show the instruments as they appeared when new.
