[Dixielandjazz] Question re Tommy Dorsey Stereo Film Clip

[LARRY'S Signs and Large Format Printing]

Edison developed the first stereo recorder/player but didn't develop it
because it was impractical meaning he couldn't make any money from it.  I
believe it had a dual stylus that made two separate tracks in the wax.
