Subject: Question about Edison disks

Dear list members,

Has anyone ever come across sound recordings on an Edison disk?  They're
from the sixties and seventies (the ones I have, anyway), red, very
flexible, grooved, and about the size of a 45 record.

And if anyone has come across them, do you know of a company I can
contact
that can migrate the recordings to a modern medium?

Thanks!
