jj, you've got too much time on your hands. You should be working on your project, or putting comments on the news of Jurassic Park coming on blu.

They probably meant "woof-woof" or "woof-er"

They look a bit like Nipper without his head.

Hi John,

I linked to the photo in Wikipedia; the link to the article is below and the photo is the 2nd one enlarged and that is the highest resolution that they offer:

A brief description of how NIPPER became perhaps the most famous dog in the world.

Source: Emile Berliner and the Birth of the Recording Industry: The Gramophone

Berliner left one other legacy to the record industry. On a trip to London in 1899, Berliner visited the offices of the London branch. There he noticed a painting hanging on the wall of a small dog with cocked head posed in front of Johnson's gramophone machine. The little terrier was listening to his master's voice coming from the horn. It had been painted by an English artist named Francis Barraud using his own little dog Nipper as the model. Berliner contacted Barraud and asked him to make a copy. Berliner brought the copy back to the U.S. and immediately sought a trademark for the painting. The trademark was granted by the Patent Office on July 10, 1900, just too late for Berliner to use it. However he let the Montreal Office use it and he passed it on to Eldridge R. Johnson, who began to print it on his Victor record catalogs and then on the paper labels of the discs. Then the gramophone branches overseas took it up and shortly "His Master's Voice" became one of the best-known trademarks in the world.

JJ,

If you don't mind, I will merge this thread with Exotic Speakers Thread. Look at post #20 in that thread. Another crazy-looking speaker.
