Consolidated was started because Mr. Johnson had made an improved spring action for the gramophone and Emile Berliner,on your right, owner and patentholder, ask Mr. Johnson to product the playing machines.
It was not a new enterprise, but a merger of the interests of Mr. Johnson with those of the Consolidated Talking Machine Company of America. The Victor Talking Machine Company, was incorporated on October 3, 1901. It would later become R C A Victor (1927), perhaps THE most important American recording company during the 78 rpm era.
Emile Berliner (United States Gramophone Company) engaged Eldridge R. Johnson, head of the Victor Company, to produce his gram-o-phone. It was to be marketed as the "Victrola." Berliner had to ask the court to have Johnson stop marketing disc with the name Gram-o-phone on them. On March 1, 1901, the courts ordered Johnson not to use the word "Gram-o-phone" on his products. The result was the Improved Record label, which dropped the Consolidated Talking Machine Company's name. The new label now had a notice of intent "This record is leased for the purpose of producing sound directly from the record, and for no other purpose; any attempt at copying or counterfeiting will be construed as a violation of this condition and a basis for legal proceedings."
The short of it is that Berliner started in the UK what was to become a icon under another name in the U.S. and the World.
HMV - had always been primarily a classical label and created its own roster of pop acts which included Johnny Kidd and The Pirates, Manfred Mann and The Swinging Blue Jeans. The label itself followed the same format as other EMI labels Columbia and Parlophone.
