  • Abstract
    A new shape for a phonograph needle stylus is described which greatly improves the reproduction possibilities from phonograph records. The new stylus was specifically produced for use with 45°-45° stereo recordings, but will perform equally well on all microgrooved monaural recordings. The scheme described evolves a shape of reproducing stylus having a basic geometry relating to the cutting stylus used in forming all microgrooves. Computations, experimental data and charts are also used to support the improvements to be expected in reproduction performance.
