The Colibri

Back to the other French Machines

Made by the "Manufacture francaise du phonographe", this very curious phonograph has a gutta-percha mandrel.  The trunion, horn and reproducer can be (and must be) lifted from the feed screw to put it in position to play the record, (see the Globe Trotter).

From the Marty book: "Histoire illustree du phonographe"
