----- there is a good schematic taken from a handwritten report by Fred 
Gaisberg in 1907 in:

Brock-Nannestad, George: "The Objective Basis for the
Production of High Quality Transfers from Pre-1925 Sound Recordings", AES 
Preprint No. 4610, 103nd Convention 1997 September 26-29, New York.

Available from all good libraries and on-line from AES.
