In 1905[4] the Pathé brothers entered the growing field of disc records.[5] They needed to employ several unusual technologies as preventive measures against patent infringement. At first they sold single-sided discs with a recording in wax on top of a cement base. In October 1906 they started producing discs in the more usual manner with shellac.[4] Even with this less eccentric material, the early Pathé discs were unlike any others. The sound was recorded vertically in the groove, rather than side-to-side, and the groove was wider than in other companies' records, requiring a special ball-shaped .005-inch-radius (0.13 mm) stylus for playing. The discs rotated at 90 rpm, rather than the usual 75 to 80 rpm. Originally, the groove started on the inside, near the center of the disc, and spiraled out to the edge. In 1916, Pathé changed over to the customary rim-start format, a more nearly normal 80 rpm speed, and paper labels instead of the stamped-in, paint-filled text previously used.[4] Pathé discs were commonly produced in 10 inches (25 cm), 10+1⁄2 inches (27 cm), and 11+1⁄2 inches (29 cm) sizes. 6+1⁄2 inches (17 cm), 8 inches (20 cm), and 14 inches (36 cm) discs were also made, as were very large 20 inches (51 cm) discs that played at 120 rpm. Due to their fragility, unwieldiness, and much higher price, the largest sizes were a commercial failure and were not produced for long.[4]
