45 . Like the "boys" Menlo Park, the staff worked all night. Numerous other substances were the subject experiment and testing: stearic acid compounds, asbestos, celluloid, montan wax, ceresin, and beeswax. started work on finding better combinations for the waxes that Aylsworth had developed the nineteenth century for cylinder records. 119 MA. Aylsworth improved the phenol resins first developed Leo Baekeland and produced material called condensite, purer resin with fewer by-products.1. Faced with serious problems this project, Edison fitted two rooms the laboratory and put testers work there "night and day.Aylsworth experimented with compounds that could easily molded into shape and would not deform shrink with heat.

The actual cylinder disc record was never blank pure resin but a combination cheaper materials for the base covered with "varnish" the hard recording medium. examined the properties of phenolic resins which could molded heat and pressure and found that they could mixed with binding agents and molded into hard, heat-resistant shapes. (Condensite refers the condensation phenol and formaldehyde which produces the resin.119 Rosanoff also had room elsewhere the laboratory, probably Building 5. Various combinations asphalt, wood flour and china clay were tried, and finally mixture phenol and wood flour was used for the record base. Rosanoffjoined the laboratory 1903
