Phonograph records are 10-inch, needle-cut, plastic discs of the Audiodisc brand. The date of their creation is known, but their provenance remains a mystery. The WAVE files are now converted to MP3s.
The discs were manufactured by the SoundScriber Corp., New Haven, CT. Two of them have recording on both sides, one has a recording on one side. The identification of the language as English is for convenience only. (Clarence E. Parmenter Collection)
Various lecturers discuss Max Weber, Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud.
