These three notebooks were used by John P. Constable, Sherwood T. (Sam) Moore, and James Toy in 1914 and 1918-1921 for notes on experiments to improve Edison's cylinder records. These books indicate that the inventor was still interested in the cylinder format as late as 1920. One book contains notes and drawings relating to various possible improvements in the Model X Amberola. Another contains entries pertaining to the press used to make Blue Amberol cylinders and the printing schedule for these records. Also included are notes on experiments dealing with the composition of cylinder records.

One book has been partially selected for indications of Edison's involvement.
