Ariston Organette Discs
By Todd Augsburger

Mike Knudsen Writes:

> Complications in remembering names come from there being three
> "domains" of naming:
>    1. The official name of the company, as in Ehrlich or Phoenix
>    2. The major brand name, used on their "flagship" or top-of-line
>       products
>    3. Other brand names used on lesser products (Diana, Intona),
>       and possibly on extra-high-quality product line (as with Lexus,
>       Infiniti, and Acura in Japanese cars today).

So, since the discs are marked "Ehrlich", and the organ(ette) is known
as "Ariston", are those the company and brand names, respectively?  What
were their other lines, if any?

(I'm Bowers-deprived, until the Encyclopedia is republished.  Thanks
to Nancy Fratti et al for keeping us informed of the expected publishing
dates.)
