Siamese Pathé

(Center Start Disc)

Center-Start 78s ..an inside-start Pathe

Pathe discs were center-start from the company's entry into disc-producing in 1905 up until 1915. Girard & Barnes' book "Vertical-cut Cylinders and Discs" gives a history of Pathe recordings. The first discs were made in 1905 and were wax on a cement base - as the authors say, like a cylinder flattened out. The 'label' was not paper, but the details were engraved like a Berliner. The details run round the perimeter of the label area and has some similarity to the engraved label details on the edge of cylinders. The engraved lines were filled with white or ochre pigment. Obviously a paper label would not stick to a wax base and maybe couldn't be attached in the pressing process. These wax discs are phenomenally rare and in 1906 they changed to shellac, still using the engraved 'label'. Paper labels didn't come in until just about the timein 1915 when they changed to outside-start and changed the speed to a nominal 80rpm. The last center-starts had a paper label of the same design as the engraved ones but the outside-starts used a more conventional design with the Pathe 'Coq' trademark.
