ABSTRACT

A Cleveland firm. It first advertised discs with the Liberty Record label in February 1919. In March 1920 the company was renamed Arrow Phonograph Co., and the name of the record label became Arrow. Laboratories were at 16-18 W. 39th Street, New York. Both labels were announced to be “lateral” but not “lateral cut.” The process, invented by F.W. Matthews, called for a ridge to be the recorded section of the master, with the recording done with a forked head instead of a cutting straight edge. Apparently these were the only discs made by that process.
