Tom, I didn't reply before as I wanted to fully remember my source, but I don't. For a time in the 1990s Gramphone published three or four numbers of a small format magazine which was like a paperback book called the "international record collectors -- something." In issue No. 2 there was a complete account of the weird Philips-Miller system. It was used in 1939 to make a recording of Bach's St. Matthew Passion with a relatively reputable conductor; I have no idea who. The recording was issued, but only in mono. Only a couple of recordings made with system survive, and I think they are mono mixes all, but they are remarkable in their clarity and resolution, even in mono. And of course I am summarizing because I have never heard them, and the magazine was something I read off the rack at work, so I haven't seen the article in nearly 20 years.
