World’s Smallest Talking Machine
HERE is a portable talking machine that is thoroughly “portable.” Reputed to be the world’s smallest, the miniature, shown on the right, is constructed of steel and leather, and looks like a folding camera.The horn is carried inside the machine and the same screw that is used for fixing the record to the plate is used in closing the apparatus. It weighs slightly over three pounds and tits in a coat pocket.
I just looked at my coat pocket I don’t think it is going to fit. Also at over three pounds it is going to make the coat lopsided.

Think how much fun you could have setting this next to someone’s iPod or even better Zune.

I think the OCR wants to put other things in coat pockets
