	Edison:The History of the Edison Cylinder Phonograph
		The phonograph was developed as a result of Thomas Edison's work on two other inventions, the telegraph and the telephone.
		The patent on the phonograph was issued on February 19, 1878.
		The Edison Concert Phonograph, which had a louder sound and a larger cylinder measuring 4.25" long and 5" in diameter, was introduced in 1899, retailing for $125 and the large cylinders for $4.

		In the first phonograph a spiral groove was cut ~n a brass drum fixed on a horizontal screw, so that when the drum was rotated it moved from right to left, as in the phonautograph.
		The tinfoil phonograph, however, was an imperfect instrument, both as regards the medium on which the imprints were taken (tinfoil) and the general mechanism of the instrument.
		In the older phonographs this required accurate adjustment by a fine screw, but in newer forms a certain amount of lateral oscillation is allowed to the marker, by which it slips automatically into the groove.

	Phonograph cylinder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The phonograph was conceived by Thomas Edison on 18 July 1877 for recording telephone messages, his first test using waxed paper.
		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.

	Edison, His Life and Inventions - CHAPTER X
		The Edison phonograph is an important exception to the general rule; not, of course, the phonograph of the present day with all of its mechanical perfection, but as an instrument capable of recording and reproducing sound.
		The original phonograph, as invented by Edison, remained in its crude and immature state for almost ten years--still the object of philosophical interest, and as a convenient text-book illustration of the effect of sound vibration.
		The phonograph of to-day, except for the perfection of its mechanical features, in its beauty of manufacture and design, and in small details, may be considered identical with the machine of 1889, with the exception that with the latter the rotation of the record cylinder was effected by an electric motor.

	Angular Speed of a Phonograph Record
		The phonograph is used to replay sounds that are recorded on a disc or cylinder.
		Edison produced the phonograph to be used as a dictating device, but soon it turned into one of the most popular and important machines that were used for sound reproduction in the 1900s.
		If the phonograph was not created, many of the great musicians and singers that we know today would have not been known at all and their music and voices would not be remembered or heard by future generations.

	History of the phonograph
		As the novelty of the phonograph exhibitions waned, the audiences tapered off and the invention went through a dormant period nearly a decade long before it would transcend its status as a curiosity.
		By this time Edison had renewed his interest in the phonograph and pursued improvements of his own, most notably replacing the tinfoil sheath with a coating of wax and developing a battery-powered electric motor to drive the instrument.
		However, the Depression, the death of the phonograph's inventor, the drastic decline in consumer interest, and the competition from new forms of audio technology marked the end of the beginning for talking machines.

	How Users Define New Media: A History of the Amusement Phonograph
		I am suggesting that phonographs and phonograph records had rich symbolic careers, that they acquired and possessed meanings in the circumstances of their apprehension and use, and that those meanings, many and changeable, arose in relation to the social lives of people and of things.
		Phonograph records, tapes, CDS, and video cassettes all counter that trend; part of their logic as possessions is repetition and reenactment, rewind and replay.
		The vocabulary with which the phonograph was introduced and the symbolic terrain it occupied were all part of its definition, its coming into focus, first as a novelty and eventually as a familiar within American homes, right near where the radio and then the TV would sit further on into the century.

	Phonograph Records (from popular music) -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia
		In the early 20th century, improved methods in recording music enabled phonograph records to become a principal means of spreading music.
		A phonograph disc, or record, stores a replica of sound waves as a series of undulations in a sinuous groove inscribed on its rotating surface by the stylus.
		As the stylus attached to the phonograph's arm tracks the spiral groove of the rotating disc, the patterns cut into the groove cause the stylus to vibrate.
