  • HMV Model 460 Lumiere table-grand Gramophone
    Available in an Oak or Mahogany quarter-veneered case.

    • Double 11" spring motor
    • Semi-automatic brake
    • 12" turntable
    • Special regulator with automatic speed indicator
    • 14" pleated diaphragm

    The large pleated diaphragm (patented by Lumière) made in folded paper, conferred excellent sound production, but was extremely fragile and so was rapidly abandoned.

    Questo grande diaframma (brevetto Lumière) in carta pieghettata dava una resa molto buona, ma a causa della estrema fragilità fu rapidamente abbandonato.

    Description of the device written by Mr. Marco Contini, as well as in the brochure.
