A British firm, located in London, in 1900. It produced the Juno cylinder player, based on British Patent #7594, accepted 23 June 1900. The reproducer was a tubular piece of glass with a leather cushion between the stylus and the celluloid horn. It was a very inexpensive machine, with no frills. To change cylinders the user had to detach the drive belt and remove both the record and its carrying spool. The Juno was available “absolutely free” to agents who could sell nine pieces of jewelry provided by the British Premium Syndicate.
