Vinyl disc processing
Jim Hughes · 1995
Abstract So well established is the practice of disc record manufacture that this chapter nearly became called ‘Beyond the Melba Stone’. For the curious, the ‘Melba Stone’ was laid by Dame Nellie Melba in 1907 during the building of the old Gramophone Company’s factory at Hayes in Middlesex. The stone has since been moved and now stands in front of the modern automated vinyl disc and music cassette factory of EMI Music Services (UK), through whose courtesy the following account of vinyl disc processing took shape.
