announces an important discovery
TheMctorTungs-tone Stylus
An improved, semi-permanent, changeable, reproducing
stylus of tungsten combining all the desirable features
of the Victor system of changeable needles with
the added advantage of playing 50 to 200
records without changing.
After searching the earth for
better stylus material, a Victor
expert discovered the miraculous
reproducing and wearing qualities
of tungsten. The Tungs-tone
Stylus will play from fifty to two
hundred records or even more.
The life of the Tungs-tone Stylus
depends on the character and
volume of the records played.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE THE
TUNGS-TONE STYLUS until it wears out. When
this takes place the stylus simply stops reproducing as
a signal for a new one. There is no danger of spoiling
the record, because, strange to say, tungsten is softer
than the record, although its wearing quality is one to
two hundred per cent, better than the hardest steel.
We cannot explain why—it is one of nature's secrets
—a phenomenon. We only know it is true and
recommend the Tungs-tone Stylus to all Victor users.
NO NEEDLES T O CHANGE is the chief nos-
trum of manufacturers of machines operated with a
permanent jewel point, but the Victor Company knows

what others will learn in time, namely: that no

hard disc records. The jewel stylus was a success

the Victor Steel Needle, to be used but once,
was the only practical needle for the new gramo-
phone type of hard record until the discovery of the
miraculous properties of tungsten for reproducing

.
TUNGS-TONE is a trade-name and was coined
for the occasion. The new Tungs-tone Stylus is made
in SOFT TONE AS WELL AS IN FULL TONE
and can be changed instantly, jusr the same as a steel
needle. The virtue of the Tungs-tone Stylus lies in
a small cylinder of tungsten projecting from the end
of a steel holder in which it is rigidly set.
The tiny cylinders of tungsten reproduce Victor
Records better than any other known material.
Smooth, strong and full as to tone. The Victor
Tungs-tone Stylus fits all Victor sound boxes.

Important warning. Victor Records can be safely and satisfactorily played only with
Victor Needles or Tungs-tone Stylus on Victors or Victrolas. Victor Records
cannot be safely played on machines with jeweled or other reproducing points.
