Found the image in Don's book. p76. I can confirm the caption given above:
"Baird with phonograph equipment. The original caption by Barton Chapple refers to Baird 'carrying out his original Phonovision recording experiments'. --From 'Popular Television', Barton Chapple, 1935"
On p77 there's another photo with a cycliner phonograph:
"Detail from a photograph of Baird's apparatus at the British Association meeting in Leeds in 1927 showing Noctovision and cylinder Phonovision equipment. Courtesy of the Royal TV Society RTS 36-34."
Presumably from their archives.
Don's book is still available, but not cheap. You'll be lucky to get a copy under £40. One of his lectures is available online: https://vimeo.com/62777765
He gave this lecture, or a something very similar, several times. I saw it at the IEE in London and arranged for him to give it at a BVWS meeting in Harpenden. He's a very good speaker and his use of (presumably) Powerpoint is about the best I've ever seen.
