VINTAGE RECORD AUCTION #53 - Nauck's Vintage Records

These U.S. Signal Corps Morse Code Cylinders were designed for the 150 tpi Ediphone System and came in felt-lined orange BA boxes. No 1-A says “Morse” on the end;
all the others say “Radio.” There is no speaking on the cylinders, just code. This is probably the rarest of the Edison Blue Amberol type instructional series, and the only set I
have seen. I acquired these from the Walt Bellm collection many years ago. It would appear that No 2-B is missing. As an aside, 1-A to 6-A contain the letters A-Z and all the
numerals except 8 – perhaps the typesetter just forgot to note it on the edge of one of the cylinders!
