  • Notes
  • Model 510 gramophone with pleated Lumière cone, H.M.V., 1924-25. The pleated Lumière cone was adopted on two models for the English market; the table model 460 and the cabinet model 510, each of which was available in oak or mahogany. They represented a complete break with the traditional style of Victor/H.M.V. cabinets. The cone was fragile and, at the time of its introduction, its superiority over the normal internal horn machines was minimal. It could not compete with the improved models of late 1925 and was relegated to the background. The cabinets, however, survived, with internal horn tonearms, such as the 461 and 511.

    Grammofono modello 510 con membrana Lumière a pieghe, H.M.V., 1924-25. La membrana Lumière a pieghe fu adottata su due modelli destinati al mercato Imglese; il modello da tavolo 460 ed il mobile 510, ciascuno dei quali era disponibile in quercia o in mogano. Essi rappresentavano una completa rottura con lo stile tradizionale dei mobili Victor /H.M.V. La membrana era fragile e, all'epoca della sua introduzione, la sua superiorità sulle normali macchine a tromba interna era minima. Non era in grado di competere coi modelli perfezionati della fine del 1925 e fu relegata sullo sfondo. I mobili, tuttavia, sopravvissero, con bracci acustici a trombe interne, come il 461 ed il 511.
