What type of cut did Berliner's disc record use?
Vertical-cut
Oblique-cut
Lateral-cut
Straight-cut
Answer
Lateral-cut describes the recording method used in Berliner's disc records. In lateral recording, the sound vibrations cause the needle to move side to side, or laterally, creating horizontal ripples in the groove of the record. This movement is perpendicular to the direction of the record's rotation.
