‘Voice record’ is record disc which allows users to record their voice messages and post to their friends or relatives. The voice was usually recorded and played at automatic recording vending machine at places like department stores or amusement parks. ‘Voice record’ became popular in the mid 1930s. This ‘voice record’ itself is not directly relevant to the British Empire Exhibition, but it shows the fate of the the Hong Kong Pavilion. The Hong Kong Pavilion has yet been demolished in the 1930. The maps of Wembley showed that the pavilion was renamed to ‘Hong Kong Works’. The production company of this voice record, Amusement Equipment Co. Ltd, has an address at ‘Hong Kong Works’. Their office or store was possibly located there.
