Re: [IRCA] First DJ in 1909

[kj8o@xxxxxxxxxx]

Admittedly, I am not 100% sure when the platter type records were first used 
(although I have one that I believe was my greatgrandfather's and is dated 
1912). Of course before that time, records were cylinders.

The "turntables" were victrola record players, so the microphone must have 
been placed quite close to the horn in order to pick up the music for 
broadcasts.

Hmmm, this is the kind of videos that should show up on You Tube...

Thanks for sharing Patrick, Mike, and all others.
