...considerations are speed of revolution and playing time. Both records use speeds slower than ordinary. Victor uses the gain in time to reduce the size of the record; Columbia puts more music on the standard size record. Victor's claim that its speed of 45 revolutions per minute is better than Columbia's 33 1/3 is true only in an historical sense. The Victor speed presents a much easier engineering problem than the Columbia speed. Victor records, therefore, have a uniform quality while Columbia's quality varies from record to record. But Columbia is improving its engineering technique rapidly...

His efforts there, for WOR, were better documented than rewarded. Since then rivals have stolen his jokes but very few sponsors have paid for them...
