It never ceases to amaze me how many of those old records were punched off-center. This pre-dates PVC "vinyl" pressings, too. I've even seen 45s like that, mainly pumped out for volume distributors to markets when juke boxes were popular. Not too many seemed to care about fidelity.
In some cases it is most certainly true, I've got one record by Doris Day. With one side being heavily distorted off-center, and the flip side was perfect. A lot of the records I own from the 1930s doesn't suffer so much from this issue though. Could just be luck.
Ironically the acoustics of your workshop and the fact that your recording device has two microphones adds dimension. The 78s sound like they are in stereo through my headphones!
Sometimes I feel like I am listening to one of those 1960's Enoch Light "Persuasive Percussion" recordings with the ping pong right, left, right, left stereo effects as Dave's voice pans quickly left, right, left, right. Must drive you headphone people bonkers!
Sum the right and left channels together will also help quiet the pops and surface noise dramatically when using a stereo cartridge. Make it permanent, not like you will play anything else on this, and it cost nothing but some solder.
I’m glad to see you like old music like that and 78’s. I like 78’s and the old big band and jazz music. Now it would be good if you could add a pair of output jacks jacks so this machine can be connected to a recorder to preserve these recordings.
I can put output jacks on it and likely will, so I can record these old records. Yes I do like old music. I remember my grandmother playing her old James Melton records and it will be fun to revisit them. I actually do have another record changer that has 78 that I haven't serviced yet. I believe it is a Garrard. I am hopeful that some of these old records will be big band and jazz records. Not really into the show tunes and opera. I have some frank sinetra, bing crosby and sammy davis jr records on 78.
Nice, I actually did this to my Technics SL-D3. So now I can play, all 3 formats. Well technically I can play some of the 90rpm as well with pitch control
This was a good video! Glad you got it to 78 speed and you can listen to your old records! Oh get the right needle! I know i'm not the only one to say it>
I have a ton of 78’s in my collection. I played it on my wind-up phonograph. I have two wind-up machines like my Victor VV 8-4 Orthophonic Victrola from 1926, and my Camp Fone portable phonograph from 1923, and it still works and plays great. I did cleaned out the old grease, put new grease in on the spring motor, and it does the job.
I forget which model Victor I had. The spring let go and i sold it. Guy i contacted to fix offered me 1000 for it and i jumped at the chance. I see them come up for sale every so often for about the same price or a little more. Antique shop had one recently for 1100 in good shape. Too big though and loud. Had to stuff socks or a pillow in the horn to shut the volume down because they would blow you out of the house.
i think i may have just witnessed (The World's First Circuit Bent Record Player!) glad to see you found a use for this player! If you ever get far into the hobby of collecting old 78s, you should definitely get a dual 1019. If memory sirves me right you have a video or 2 floting around on your channel working on some duals. I regret trading my dual away especially after all the money I spent restoring it and on upgrades. Ended up trading it for a crappy gemini pa amp the kind of thing with gassed up specs.
@@12voltvids Nice! Hope I come across something similar again some day! For now I have this Radioshack Realistic LAB something something linear tracker that I restored and love it. It was a lot of fun getting it working and it was made around 1984 from what I could find online. Had it for almost 3 years now
18:19 From the label designs of RCA and Columbia that are on the records in the video, most of the records you demonstrate were manufactured in Canada in the first five years of the 1950's. Most of the 12 inch records you show after 21:00 were acoustically recorded in the 1920's and 30's, and meant to be played on acoustic hand cranked machines with steel needles. The dates shown are patent dates for the label. The one's from the fifties were electrically recorded and meant to be played with crystal pickups and electronic amplifiers. They will not last long when played with gramophones and steel needles. A side note about RU-vid copyright strikes: I once got a copyright strike on a video I did at Christmas that had my Niece singing Ave Marie in the background. Maybe I could use the strike as evidence to get the company to pay her royalties for the song LOL, since they claimed to own it. Ave maria is public domain I believe, and only a specific recording of it can be copyrighted.
I noted the thick Columbia disk at 21.00.. I think it may possibly be a vertically cut disk from somewhere around 1910. I am not aware of any disks cut to that format except by Edison, but just maybe? I also got a copyright strike.. for my performance of my own song at a live event.. Some yank lawyer had so called registered it.. news to me. He lost out because I own it and it's published in my name !!
I like listening to the jazz like Glenn Miller's Sunrise Serenade and reminds me driving a nice Toyota Camry LE from '09, and I used to listen to Glenn Miller in the car in the morning while I was up on the main road. Seeburg soundtracks is really good two and I enjoyed it.
This amazing.... all this stuff is from our grandparents time....I remember these at there house....this is hard to believe they lasted over 100 years....1901 wow...3 dollars is. 20 dollars in today's money
Your Columbia "Grand Prize" label record at 19:23 is from 1910. There is an excellent resource for looking up 78's called the online 78 rpm discography. That's how I found the year for that record. The record number was A5283. I believe these listings are for American issues, not sure how many UK pressings may be shown as the records may have different numbers. No lead out grooves until the mid-20's or so as that's when the first changer units started showing up. I have a couple nice boxes full of all sorts of 78's and all types of music...up into the start of the rock 'n' roll era. You've got a time capsule of what people listened to 100+ years ago, kind of fun. In another 100 years, it will still be there forever etched in those grooves! Some limited edition modern 78's are occasionally pressed. A record company called Rivermont released some "new" dance music on 78's in which I have a copy. This 78 is in STEREO and is microgroove and was pressed in 2019! Even the label and sleeve had that 1930's time period look to it.
78's are not all opera, show tunes, big band, harmonica, classical or jazz. Sometimes there may not be a date on the label; or as shown in this video various dates are on there. It's usually possible to find out, with a little research. The sound quality can vary but is surprisingly decent, even with well-played records. It can be amazing what you find, there are some rare gems which might be one of the last of their kind. Most of you probably know all this, but I'm just saying it for those who don't.
For the worn records it would be a little quieter. The stylus on this one is not exactly small, but a 5mil would be preferred. Remember these were played originally using a sharpened roofing nail..
I'm sure some people are going to post crying about what an awful record player this is. In comparison to the midrange or high end, light tracking turntables of today, yes it is. BUT.... let me remind those people that the record players of the '78' era were often BRUTAL in comparison to this unit. I'm pleased to see that this unit has been given another chance. I would suggest, though, that you occasionally look in on that motor and make sure it stays lubricated, given its current age and the fact that it's spinning a lot faster than it originally did. Another suggestion would be to hook in a pitch control and mount it somewhere that's accessible externally. Some '78s' actually... AREN'T.
I got a technics sl1900 years ago for very little money that is direct drive. It plays 33 and 45 and while it's not a SL1200 it's a pretty robust turntable. I found a schematic online and it looked like I could convince it to run at 78-80 without much work. 78's wee made for anything from 76 to 80 rpm (eary records were usually 80 rpm) so I wanted it to be adjustable. i added a small toggle switch to enable me to change the 45 setting to 78rpm nominal. By throwing that switch I can use the 45 speed adjust to run between 74 and 85 rpm. I built a phono preamp with opamps that has switchable equalization for several of the old 78 curves so I can play jst about anything
That is a nice idea for that crappy thing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Would a better quality turntable sound better, if converted to 78 rpm, or not 🤔 Could be a nice idea for those wirh a collection of oldies 👍🏻 I would have loved to hear something at the 122 rpm speed though 😉😜
No, a better turntable would not sound better unless a 78 stylus and cartridge was fitted and the tone arm set to 10 grams or more. The ceramic cartridge is mode than good enough for these old relics. Remember that old recordings used a vertical modulated groove, not the horizontal groove that later records used. The "needle" (that's a trigger word for some) rides up and down in the groove not side to side. The reason it plays on a stereo cartridge is stereo records used 45' angle recording so they respond to both the horizontal and vertical movement of the stylus.
@@PaulaXismaschenputtel far as I know (and I could be wrong ) columbia did not produce any vertical recorded discs, but in the early days they made vertical cylinder records
It sounds to me that the tone arm has increasing resistance like heavy anti skate, near the end the noise increases dramatically as compared to the lead in, The adjustment you suggested on the auto return may be justified.
An interesting project would be to add a 78 external speed switch (with maintaining the other 2 speeds). Best to get a 78 stylus. I'm not an opera fan either, but when you have a copy of the lyrics/translation they are amazing songs/stories.
I wonder if these copyright strikes have to do with people 'renewing' the license - like some limited edition reissue that they fear losing capital on. I didn't think it worked that way but possibly - or was used in some modern Movie or TV show once.. ?
The copyright system used to work perfectly well until Di$ney started abusing it in order that Mickey Mouse didn't fall into the public domain ( He's about to run out of copyright again pretty soon iirc). These days the entire copyright system (especially on RU-vid) is a real mickey mouse operation :(
Nice work and well done! Perhaps time to "Disc Washer" some of them as it could make quite the difference in fidelity? Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Did you ever balance that tone arm? ;) (We also have a box of them...) Any 16-2/3s come with those 78s? I also thought Copyright ended after a 'lifetime' - shock. Cheers!
Just order the 3 mil needle for that Crosley clone ceramic cartridge, make it a dedicated 78 player, archive the records you like to digital, and give the records to a collector. That is what I would do. I have my 1965 Magnavox console that has a flip over 0.7 mil stereo/3 mil 78 and a CBS Mastersound portable record player with a Garrard 1000 changer that will play the old shellac records.
Well I have an offer on the table to buy the collection and if i can get something for it i will because i know there is value in these 78s. They sell them in the old vinyl store and some are quite valuable. Considering the age they all will be worth something but they will all end up with a collector. They are all in very good condition. I haven't gone through them all yet but I will in the next few days so i know what i have.
I had to laugh wen you got 100+ rpm from it, i could hear you enjoyed that lol. Opera is just controlled shouting, but i would say that lol. Some old records were made of shelac, very breakable. The old gramaphones were brutal, a pin that looked like a rounded nail was the stylus. Cant see how the records lasted at all.
Question: does speeding up the motor to get 78 RPM decrease it's life significantly? Just wondering. I have 1 12 inch 78 Rpm record. My late Grandmother's. (and stacks of 10 inch 78's) and also, a long, long time ago, only the wealthy could usually afford a victrola and records. At least that's what I read.
That very thick Columbia disk may just possibly be a vertically cut disk.. competition with the Edison disks perhaps? If so it's really rare.. I can't find any specific listing. Noted the $3.00 price tag.. an absolute fortune in 1909
Another way is to play the 78's at 45rpm, recording into Audacity. In Audacity under effects, there is a change speed facility with presets already loaded to change from 45 to 78 plus other combinations.
Wow!!! - I think if you look on the Lead out groove the time stamp of when the record was pressed. might give you some idea of when it was manufactured...There are a lot of people who share recordings on you tube via records and they don't seem to get a strike - Can't see why you can't do the same. You tube needs to remember that this is the public tv and You tube needs to mind its own business - If you tube owns the recordings then yes they can squabble about it but they don't own what we all want to share so share david...
old, worn LP stylii sometimes work ok on 78s, but in any case it doesn't really matter as I guess the plan here is to play them all once to record them digitally then never play the actual records again - just as a way of archiving these recordings for posterity
No. Most were recordef before electronics. The recording was made by the performer singing into a horn that had the cutting needle on the other end that was dragged through a wax disk. The wax disk was made into a stamper which was pressed into the schallac disks. All recorded live. Direct to disk. No mixing no microphones.
@@commietube_censorship_sucks Some were later and these ones has the no broadcast restrictions like the James Melton but many were much earlier. I have about 70 disks. I only showed a few. Many are the heavier single sided disks which are well before 1925. I am going by the copyright date on the disk. If it says copyright 1906 I have to assume that is when it was recorded. I am not about to research these old records as i am getting rid of them. I know the ones my grandmother left me are from the late 20s and 30s because they immigrated here in 1926 when my grandfather was laid off from Harland and Wolfe shipyards in Belfast. Yes he worked on the Titanic and the other white star line ships built in the early 19 teens.

I had one way back. A totally manual model 4 speed 12" platter.. heavy as anything.. took a while to get up to speed. The auto ones were cute.. especially the way the arm banged the side of the record to find out it's size
@@12voltvids they went bankrupt in 2017 and sunrise records bought the leases to good locations. the company passed hands several times though the 2000s
To be fair about the copyright, music enters the public domain 70 years after the artist's death and the CLASSICS Act made music from 1922 and earlier in the public domain.
Put on a adjustable homemade bracket, nut, ballpen spring, screw and counterweight to get the right weight on the needle perhaps? :) 22:08 I think the reason for this one side record being cracked in the middle might be due to it may be made of nitrocellulose. Does it have a sweet floral smell? If so it is the smell of nitrocellulose. Products of 30 years or older starts smelling like that, and gets more potent. Did you know that nitrocellulose was used as mining explosives in the past? And still used in many products today and is in many old records without owners knowing? The records are called acetates. Fran tells about it in this video, and that one should consider not put them in plastic bags to preserve them and instead give them lots of ventilation and away from heat. Becourse they gets damaged when not stored properly and can even burn and explode.. many old film studios and even hospitals did burn down to the ground becourse of the use of nitrocellulose in the film reels kept in airtight boxes. The film reels was made so the plastic was more flexible and may be the reason for this dange happening more with film reels. This is anyway a important video to watch for record collectors i think. Egads!!! The Volatile World Of NITRO!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w8Uhys5Ldrs.html At 9:12 she tells about a record collector she know that have hundreds of these acetates records and he did get shocked when she told him it was nitrocellulose in them. And tells what one can do, like not store them hot and keep them ventilated. Nitroacetate can burn under water and in a vacum when they first combust. If you want something good and obscure to listen to you might find something in the Krautrock genre :) It is the 60's music multiplied by two kind of, some even gets into too much weirdness, it was much of that recorded in Germany in the 60's 70's. The album Frumpy - All will be changed is lovely, Inga Rumpf is a good singer :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aDEkJzYZ67I.html David Banner says this on the forum underneat the video so i wanna spread it more, spread the love people :) "I keep pinching myself, because what I'm hearing cannot be fucking real. Can't believe I just now found this band after 52 years on earth. Thank you, Thank You, Thank You!!!".
This type of turntable is typically set up at the factory to track at about 5-6 grams or so. That's the recommended tracking force for those ceramic cartridges. I suppose the counterbalance spring they used with these units could be damaged, worn, improperly set, or missing, but even if it really did track at 12 grams, that would still be fairly 'light' compared to the players those 78s were originally played on. If I were inclined to reduce tracking weight, I wouldnt use a spring. I'd probably epoxy a bolt to the rear of the tone arm, and then use a nut and/or some washers to make the tracking weight adjustable. If this was my project, I would disconnect the signal leads from the amplifier and set them up at the rear as a separate output, so that I could feed the signal to an amp with a proper ceramic phono input. I did something similar with a busted-up Crosley portable a few years ago. But, by this point, it would be beyond the scope of a simple 'resurrect and repurpose' kind of thing, yeah?
@@xaenon Yeah, the spiral spring was ment to hold the counterweight on the screw bracket more tight, so it can be adjustable. I think i has seen something like that before, it was what popped up when i did think about it there and then. It is likely hundreds of ways to make this, as in everything else :) My old dad had a old suitcase record player with a crank on it when i was a kid, it might have been a 78 player perhaps or was it more systems? It had a horn speaker system on the tone arm. Get a one-way speaker element with a paper cone as tweeter in the middle, it will fit good this old style music :) Make a cabinet, something like this antique wooden cabinet www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-wood-american-bosch-28-533909333 Yeah, the right sound is important, put in a tube buffer in this too to get some warm tube sound from vintage times, i got two of those, a one tube 6n3 and a two tube 6n3, chinese tubes, work fine, the one tube one makes more warmth but can be too much for modern music, i think that one is called starved tube buffer or something like that :) Yeah, we make things too advanced, agree, lol, but will fit fine for the second part called "How to make a vintage record player run on hydrogen cells" :)
I have not read the previous posts, but old 78's was not recorded using RIAA and therefore the reproduction using modern equipment makes them sound different. RIAA came around 1964-55 and is used for 33 1/3 and 45 rpm records. A chrystal needle (pick-up) is recommended as they "fill up" the groove, which modern styluses don''t. If you are just about to listen to your old 78's I don't think you will need to do anything. But, otherwise you should try to make the cartridge "moniozed" and then disconnect the RIIA-converter. To get the best sound out of a 78 is close to rocket scinence as the groves are recorded different depending on the record label. Also the grove has diffent withs and then the speed could vary between high 60 rpm and way above 80 rpm. There are lists on the net on the differences and it is so tiresome trying to chose the correct needles etc. Thankfully the modern era with vinyls and digital recordings make life easier - a little.
When it comes to copyright music is usually free it the composer has been dead for 70 years, but I don't know whay copyright regulations you have in Canada.
I am aware that they are not RIAA, but then neither is this ceramic cartridge pickup. The cartridge connects literally to the AUX input, the same one you would connect a CD player to. In fact the front panel switch selects the same amp input! They are parallel internal. That is the phono cartridge is connected to the AUX inputs. They will function as an output. For fun I should make a quick video on this. Yes I can connect this black plastic crap turntable to a real amplifier. Might just do that as I may be bored later today.
If the record is from 1913, is it still possible to get a copyright strike? Current time limit is 95 years from publication? Well that answers that. Maybe write strongly-worded legal threat to the supposed copyright holder would result in a big fat legal settlement check? Turn their own game against them.
You need to 3D print a 78 stylus... Sorry. That thing was doing well spinning up around 130, wonder how long the motor would last if you ran it that quick for long.
You did see the part where it went up to 52 RPM or was that a point that you skipped ahead? Its at 3:40 FYI. If you saw that then you would know that the resistor needed to go.
There are companies that are buying up the rights of all these old recordings. They are not necessarily in the music business but more about money and getting revenue from copyright.
There's a term in the law like "use it or lose it", which means something like: the owner of the copyright of the music must provide fresh copies to the public on modern media for reasonable prices, or the copyrights will not be granted. From recordingcopyright.org/faq.html : "The international record companies are fighting to extend copyright everywhere, to increase their monopoly control for up to 95 years-even though in most cases they won’t use it. They suffered a severe setback when the U.K. refused to extend its 50-year term in 2006. Most scholars and economists oppose term extension, and extensive studies have shown that it will cost the public money while not benefiting musicians, however politicians have largely ignored these studies and backed the companies. The companies next tried to push through a 95 year copyright term throughout the European Union, but again there was a furious backlash. Eventually a compromise was reached in which the term was extended from 50 to 70 years, but with significant conditions. The companies get the extra 20 years only for recordings that they keep in print ("use it or lose it"), there is no retroactivity (everything made prior to the early 1960s stays in the public domain), and they have to start paying backing musicians, not just the "stars," no matter what the original contracts said. Separately, the European Union has also enacted legislation allowing the use of "orphan works." The Europeans realize how badly the U.S. model has turned out and that extending absolute monopoly control for a century does not make sense."
You're right. In England, the label was "His Master's Voice", named after the original painting. It was owned by Victor/RCA. They used that up into the 1950's.
@@claytonmoore9530 RU-vid only makes matches based on what copyright holders send them as sample files. So someone at WMG and the other record companies sent them the samples.
If I didn't monetize my videos i wouldn't care. But then again if I didn't make anything on the videos i wouldn't be doing this. Unfortunately some people just don't get this. It is not paranoia, if you use someone else's content you are stealing and the content owner has every right to claim any revenue their music makes. That is why we use royalty free music. Sorry if you have the inability to understand this.
@@12voltvids - LOL I didn't realise they were 78's until I started viewing. I don't understand the recent obsession with vinyl records... we were SO excited to finally be rid of them once the CD came in. No way the vinyl ever sounded better than CD, however I guess that audiofools can convince themselves of almost anything! A warm sound (does that mean no treble?) can easily be created with a graphic equalizer, or even just the Bass and Treble controls.
@@johncoops6897 I feel the same way. I guess they are brainwashed. I keep hearing that they like the physical media and holding it in their hand. Hello, cd is physical that you can pick up. And takes much less space to store.
No. Those are crappy for 78s. No pressure adjustment which those are insufficient. 78s need more counterweight (I do mine at 5.5g) and a direct drive motor turntable (old Gemini PT2000).
Hmmm, no wonder new vinyl costs 120.00 today. Yes, my brain dead 21 year old has new shitty vinyl that he pays like 100 to 120 for a silly record. When I was collecting vinyl back in the late 70's and very early 80's (bought a CD player in 83 and never bought another vinyl after than) I remember going to the recoed store and walking out of the record was more than 5.00. I would wait a few weeks till it was no longer on the top 10 and the price would drop. I proudly stuck the price sticker to the jacket of the album. Police Regatta De Blanc 1.99, Ghost in the Machine 2.99, 38 special 2.99, Frampton comes alive 2.99, Eagles Hotel California 3.99. Those were the days.
@@12voltvids Yes correct and unless that $120 record was recorded in Analog then it kind of negates it's purpose. Some companies re-issue all analog recordings, but pressed on high quality vinyl.....one such operation, owned by Chad Kassem, is Acoustic Sounds, Inc
@@Sans_Solo_ Why would anyone record in analog? If my favorite performer released a new recording and they did it in analog i would skip it. High resolution digital is so superior to any analog recording. Shit even standard 44.1 16b is superior. I have compared all kinds of different recordings on sound systems costing far in excess to anything I will ever own. I was at a client's home and he had a system that he claimed was close to 500,000. If you saw it you would understand. The speakers were 125000 by themself. He put on Dave grusin mountain dance. He had the LP and cd. This was a live in the studio recording no overdubs. Recorded direct to disk and direct to soundstream 2 track digital tape for the cd. He was playing it on a turntable that he said the tone arm and cartridge was just under 40 grand. I stood in his living room and he played both. The LP sounded very good. The cd put the LP to shame. Couldn't tell you the speakers but they were these huge round horns that were about 6 feet in diameter and the back stuck out about 5 feet. They wouldn't fit in my living room. All I can say is I have never heard anything like it in my life. The cd you could place where the musicians were in the studio. It was literally a 3 dimential sound. If you heard it you would feel the same way about vinyl I do. Limited. Cd releases of shitty 80s rock and pop did the format a disservice because the engineers didn't do a cd mix from the session tapes. They worked with the tapes that were already a few generations down and mixes for the limitations of vinyl and cassette. No point arguing about how cassette or vinyl sounds compared to cd unless you have had a proper listen with good source material on a good system. Even on my system cd blows away any analog source.
@@12voltvids Believe it or not there is a small contingent of All Analog recording studios doing business today. (The majority of the studios use PCM or DSD digital to record tho) The Acoustic Sounds vinyl is interesting because he is known for re-mastering archives of existing analog tapes, of major artist’s, then pressing Ultra high quality vinyl. (The UHQR do sound very good!….I only have a few because they are very pricey). Yea I would never go crazy with my Audio system (Like to buy hi quality second hand gear and refurbish it as required) My system never will go beyond the 10K mark, at any one time, tho I do buy/sell quite a bit. Like the gentlemen you described, people can get very carried away with their system’s for probably only a few percent greater performance/enjoyment points than a carefully orchestrated collection of hi-end second hand gear. Was able to do the factory tour at PS Audio in 2019 and this included spending about half an hour alone in Audio room One (with Arnie Nudell’s magnum opus speakers: Infinity IRS V’s) Amazing sound! The turntable wasn’t hooked up that day so I just streamed on the Ipad. As for Records V CD’s…...yea I prefer vinyl myself (tho do have a nice Krell CD-300 I use). ...I know the specs show digital to be far superior in noise levels, distortion, and dynamic range etc…..but digital just lacks a sense of spatial imaging, depth, and a deeper sense of rhythm that a well recorded/pressed vinyl can deliver to my ears. I would compare it to riding a motorcycle…..why would someone want to ride around town on a loud, noisy, 2-wheeled vehicle….feeling every bump in the road, wind blowing in your face etc. when you can drive in a nice quiet air-conditioned car protected from the elements? Well because you have a different connection with the road and nature while riding a motorcycle than a car….and well it’s just cool! :)

RU-vid doesn't copyright a thing. They match content to 3rd party claimants. If someone uploads a copy or a portion of one of my videos I am notified and i can have the offending video taken down. If it is a big channel with lots of views I can claim the money generated.
What ever happened to "Fair Use"? There is a clause in the Copyright law which allows for limited use of copyright audio for demonstrative purposes. Public media channels which are privately owned I believe are just playing it safe and going overboard with bots to keep from lawsuits. Other channels like radiotvphononut, shango066, are getting hit all the time just for content on the radio or TV when tuning up and down on the dial demonstrating the operation of the old vintage gear.
