Damn that's cool to see. Amazing it wasn't ripped out 10 years later for the 'next big thing'.

That's just a typical broadcast turntable for playback!

That's just a typical broadcast turntable for playback! "But the star piece in the system is perhaps the original Rek-O-Kut recording device, a professional two-speed (78 or 33-1/3 RPM) turntable with microphone inputs that could transfer mono recordings onto acetate discs. The devices were common in radio stations of the era, and the Rek-O-Kut brand was revered for its precision engineering"

That's just a typical broadcast turntable for playback! I did not see a lathe either.

Yes, that's an entirely different beast to the one shown in the article. Perhaps he had one of these also, but I didn't see it from the pictures provided.

There was a consumer version that used a conventional pivot arm, the arm was very wide and they were no means as good as the linear version.

He may have had one and replaced it with an turntable and cartridge that could play LPs. The lathes cut ten minute broadcast transcriptions at 33 which used the same needle as used for 78s. LP is a different beast.
