Electric motors were fitted to Ediphones and Dictaphones in the early 1900s, but the recording process remained "acoustic." This secretarial model, fitted on a special stand so that it fits on a typewriter-desk, uses a listening tube (#9).
If this is correct, this would have been one of the few competitors to the Ediphone and Dictaphone before 1940.
This early model shows the recorder itself, the red vinyl discs, and two stacks of paper labels, which were inserted into the holder on the front of the machine.

 Dictaphone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dictaphone was spun off into a separate company in 1923 under the leadership of C. King Woodbridge, whose brother-in-law, George Albert Kimball successfully designed and built both the sewer system and then the subway system for the city of Boston.
Shortly after Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, the first device for recording sound, in 1877, he thought that the main use for the new device would be for recording speech in business settings.

The product's purpose was to record dictation for letters and notes so a secretary could later type it buy loading a cylinder in their machine.

A secretary would then type up the recording and then shave the used layer of the cylinder so it could be reused.

Dictaphones and Ediphones were nearly indistinguishable, and could use each other's cylinders.
The market was of course much smaller than that for the entertainment phonograph, but because of the high initial cost of the business recorder and the constant need for supplies and repairs, the business was profitable.
Despite the subject matter, it was a silent film; it would be more than a decade before "talkies" would be common.

In 1913, even Edison turned to the disc format.
(The cylinder machine evolved into the Ediphone, a dictation device that remained popular for years.) The history of the music business is marked by such changes and dislocations.
The heyday of the 78-rpm disc was probably the 1930s, partly because of the emergence of electric recording using microphones in the mid-1920s, along with the popularity of the jukebox, which took over where the coin-operated player piano left off.
