Typically writing in bold pencil, Edison announces '432 varnish poor prints today´s report at cost of 16 cents each. Costs $69,00 per day. It would pay to adopt some system different from piece work to do better varnishing.' and adds 'Perhaps varnish has something to do with it´. Extremely small crease to the upper edge and pinhole, otherwise VG £400-600
Jaffray P. Buchanan was employed by Edison as Manager of his Record Disc Division. The present note refers to Edison and Buchanan´s works on the production of the phonograph records.
