The coating on the record is acetate. Many people recorded these in the 40's, and the most common machines of the time were the Wilcox-Gay Recordio and the Packard-Bell Phonocord. If the disc in question were recorded at the studio of a radio station, it would've been cut on a transcription machine such as the RCA 70-C. Home machines could record on discs ranging in size from 7" to 12", while a transcription cutter could record on 16" discs.
