Rare Pathe Verite System Horn Support piece for Pathe cylinder phonographs. Around 1903 , most models of cylinder phonographs offered by the Pathe company were updated to include their then new " Systeme Verite " or " Orpheus System " as it was marketed in the United Kingdom. The arrangement allowed the machine to play either standard diameter cylinders , also Pathe 's Intermediate diameter " Salon " cylinders. This system of pieces of stout bent wire that had to be dismantled and stored away separately , every time the phonograph was closed away after use means that very few have survived complete , and have mostly gone missing over the intervening century or so. This piece on offer is the horn support piece that is fitted over the trunnion of the reproducer carrier , and allows the horn to be placed into correct position . It has to be used in conjunction with a " frame " of bent wire upon which it rests , the " frame " being secured to the phonograph woodwork by screw-eyes.
