The largest shellac record produced commercially (Neophone also had a 20 in. record). It was a center start, vertically cut record and weighed 5 lbs 5 oz. (2.4 kg). The goal was higher quality sound, not more music. It played at 120 rpm, so it had same duration as 12 inch record. Its size and weight made it difficult to handle and it was not a success.
