The sound was <a href="/wiki/Vertical_cut_recording" title="Vertical cut recording">recorded vertically</a> 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) <a href="/wiki/Stylus" title="Stylus">stylus</a> for playing. The discs rotated at 90 <a href="/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute" title="Revolutions per minute">rpm</a>, 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.<sup id="cite_ref-PatheInAmerica_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PatheInAmerica-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Pathé discs were commonly produced in 10 inches (25 cm), <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac">10<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span> inches (27 cm), and <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac">11<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span> inches (29 cm) sizes. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac">6<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span> 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.

In the Pathé recording studios, masters were cut on what was called a "Master Cylinder", rapidly spinning wax cylinders that measured about 13 inches (33 cm) long and <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac">4<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span> inches (11 cm) in diameter.<sup id="cite_ref-PatheInAmerica_4-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PatheInAmerica-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Beginning in 1913, special "Paradis" cylinders about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter and <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac">8<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span> inches (22 cm) long were used. The large, fast-spinning cylinders allowed for a greater level of audio fidelity. The various types of commercial Pathé cylinders and discs were then dubbed (or "pantographed") from these masters. This dubbing process enabled copies of the same master recording to be made available on multiple formats. The process sometimes resulted in uneven results on the final commercial record, causing a pronounced rumble or other audio artifacts (This rumble was generally undetectable on acoustic wind-up phonographs of the period, but is noticeable on electric and more modern equipment.), and has transformed the company's early discography into one of the most daunting to rebuild. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Path%C3%A9_5763_(with_identification).png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Path%C3%A9_5763_%28with_identification%29.png/220px-Path%C3%A9_5763_%28with_identification%29.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="205" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Path%C3%A9_5763_%28with_identification%29.png/330px-Path%C3%A9_5763_%28with_identification%29.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Path%C3%A9_5763_%28with_identification%29.png/440px-Path%C3%A9_5763_%28with_identification%29.png 2x" data-file-width="584" data-file-height="544" /></a><figcaption>Early Pathé "Ciment" record label from Christmas 1905</figcaption></figure> <p>More specifically, the most important part of the Pathé system was the way master cylinders and their finished product were catalogued; in a way very similar to <a href="/wiki/Berliner_Gramophone#Legacy_and_Preservation" title="Berliner Gramophone">Berliner Gramophone's</a>, Pathé used a block system to store the information of Master Cylinders and a serial system for the actual commercial pressings. That is, the same ""matrix"" number was first allocated to early 1890s cylinders (with a specific selection), then to a proper Master Cylinder that re-recorded the same selection, and then for the later selections that were recorded on the same Master Cylinder after its musical content became obsolete or damaged and had to be reshaved (which weren't necessarily the same musical selection). As for the stampers, each stamper of both cylinders and disc (independently from the size) has the same serial number (different between both formats), and is more or less sequential, so that media from 1916 and before (before paper labels were introduced) can be more or less easily traced back after obtaining a great enough information about each "snapshot" of the Master Cylinder.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After 1927, the company started taking a more modern approach and commenced using the simple system of master and stamper discs that the rest of corporations were using. Finally, after 1929, the company dismantled their entire Master Cylinder archive and written proof of every selection recorded to finance the company after the crisis. </p><p>The vertically cut Pathé discs normally required a special Pathé phonograph equipped with a <a href="/wiki/Sapphire" title="Sapphire">sapphire</a> ball stylus. The advantage of the sapphire ball stylus was its permanence. There was no need to change a needle after every record side. Since most records and phonographs used a different playback method, various attachments were marketed that allowed one to equip a Pathé phonograph to play standard, laterally-cut records. Attachments were also sold to equip a standard phonograph to play Pathé records.<sup id="cite_ref-PatheInAmerica_4-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PatheInAmerica-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1920, Pathé introduced a line of "needle-cut" records, at first only for the US market. The needle-cut records were laterally-cut discs designed to be compatible with standard phonographs, and they were labelled <i>Pathé Actuelle</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-PatheInAmerica_4-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PatheInAmerica-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the following year, these "needle-cut" records were introduced in the United Kingdom and within a few more years they were selling more than the vertical Pathés, even on the continent. Attempts to market the Pathé vertical-cut discs abroad were abandoned in 1925, though they continued to sell in France until 1932. </p><p>In mid-1922, Pathé introduced a lower priced label called <a href="/wiki/Perfect_Records" title="Perfect Records">Perfect</a>. This label became one of the most popular and successful "dime store" labels of the 1920s, and survived beyond the end of the US Pathé label – discontinued in 1930 – right up to 1938. </p><p>In January 1927, Pathé began recording using the new electronic <a href="/wiki/Microphone" title="Microphone">microphone</a> technology, as opposed to the strictly acoustical-mechanical method of recording they used until then. </p><p>In December 1928, the French and British Pathé phonograph assets were sold to the British <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Graphophone_Company" title="Columbia Graphophone Company">Columbia Graphophone Company</a>. In July 1929, the assets of the American Pathé record company were merged into the newly formed <a href="/wiki/American_Record_Corporation" title="American Record Corporation">American Record Corporation</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-PatheInAmerica_4-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PatheInAmerica-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, the Pathé and Pathé-Marconi records imprints continued in Italy. In 1931 the label continued as VCM group ('Voce de Maestro [His Master's Voice] - Columbia - Marconiphone'). </p><p>The Pathé and Pathé-Marconi labels and catalogue still survive, first as imprints of <a href="/wiki/EMI" title="EMI">EMI</a> and now currently EMI's successor <a href="/wiki/Parlophone" title="Parlophone">Parlophone Records</a>.
