	Phonograph cylinder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ability to record as well as play back sound was an advantage to cylinder phonographs over the competition from cheaper disc record phonographs which began to be mass marketed at the end of the 1890s, as the disc system machines could be used only to play back pre-recorded sound.
		Cylinder phonographs also usually used a worm gear to move the stylus in synchronization with the grooves of the recording, whereas most disc machines relied on the grooves to pull the stylus along.
		Cylinder phonograph technology continued to be used for dictaphone recordings for office use into the early 1950s when the cylinder dictaphone was supplanted by magnetic tape.

	Columbia Records
		In 1925, Columbia in the U.S. bought out Compo's New England operations and used Compo masters on their 34000-F French-Canadian series, this being one of the few times that a non-Columbia master was used on Columbia records and lending credence to the assumption that Columbia's Canadian operations did not have recording capability.
		The Columbia operations were finally purchased by the American Record Corporation, one of the two firms at the time still in the record business to any extent in the U.S., for the amazing sum of $70,000.
		Columbia's Canadian operations were dropped entirely, as Compo issued ARC material in Canada until 1935-36, and what few Columbia records were sold in Canada were imported U.S. pressings.

	The Canadian Connection
		This was made more complicated by the fact that Columbia had encouraged an employee to patent the process of recording on a wax disc master, a process which Berliner was using to replace the zinc etching first used.
		Columbia recorded little, if at all, in Canada, and it is not clear if even the pressing of records was done here at first, as most Columbia records pressed in Canada used imported labels.
		Columbia, as noted, did not record in Canada; sides on the "P" series, and its R-4000 successor, were recorded in New York or London for Canadian issue.

	Phonograph vs gramophone
		During thirteen years since the birth of the phonograph, three types of material were used for recording and playing sound, which were tried, besides Edison himself, by hundreds of American, British, French and Italian researchers.
		The advantages of this invention were evident in comparison with those of the phonograph and its cylinder.
		Columbia corporation decided to increase the manufacturing of machines and discs, and a few years later totally abandoned making cylinders and their devices whose name was "The Graphophone", modifying it for disc machines as "The Disc Graphophone".

	History of Recorded Sound (Antique Phonograph Books Edison)
		A phonograph which could record and reproduce was finally invented in 1877 by someone who wasn't looking for it at all.
		Because each phonograph was also a recorder, a talented amateur could easily make records at home, and some of the first problems with censorship arose when enterprising showmen experimented with risque cylinders.
		The prices of the phonographs and records began to drop in the mid-nineties as the anticipated market changed, and the spring motor was substituted for the earlier electric and treadle versions.

		After each record was announced, the phonographs then would all be started simultaneously to take the performance.
