The reproducer was perhaps the most important component of the machine as it was through the constellation of needle holder & membrane that the sound was produced. The logo's on the various machines evolved together with the growth of the company. The 'Nipper' logo was a huge coup for the company, and replaced an intermediary attempt at a logo which was a recording angel. |
