Enlighten Branch Managers of Otto Heineman Phonograph Supply Co. During Recent Visit
When the branch managers of the Otto Heine-
ttian Phonograph Supply Co., Inc., visited New
York recently for their annual conference, one
of the most enjoyable trips during this confer-
ence was a visit to the factories of the com-
pany's Meisselbach division at Newark, N. J.
One day was spent at this plant, and the visit-
ing managers were greatly impressed with the
efficiency which characterizes every department
of the Meisselbach factories. They marveled at
the new machinery which was recently installed,
and, after going through the factory from gar-
ret to cellar, stated that they now readily under-
stood how the Meisselbach motor had gained
its fame and prestige in the phonograph in-
dustry.
A. F. Meisselbach, head of the Meisselbach
division of the Otto Heineman Phonograph Sup-
ply Co. and vice-president of the company, is
a pioneer in the motor manufacturing industry,
and his intimate knowledge of every detail of
motor production has enabled him to place his
motor in the front ranks of the industry's prod-
ucts. Mr. Meisselbach is ably assisted by Pliny
Catucci, who is recognized throughout the trade
as possessing a technical knowledge of motor
construction that is second to none. He has
developed and perfected many important im-
provements that have contributed materially to
the success of the Meisselbach motor.
A. F. Meisselbach & Bro. started in business
thirty-five years ago as manufacturers of fishing
reels, and a few years ago placed the Meissel-
bach motor on the market. From the moment
it was introduced this motor won the approval
of the manufacturers, and this factory has been
arms, and sound boxes have won high prestige
throughout the entire talking machine industry.
