Answer
Aluminum and acetate discs were Lomax's primary recording technology in the 1940s. These discs were used in conjunction with a portable disc recorder, which allowed Lomax to capture the music of traditional musicians in remote locations. The discs were lightweight and easy to transport, making them ideal for field recording. They also had a relatively long recording time, which allowed Lomax to capture extended performances.
