The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. It used cylinder records. In 1887, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to near the center. He called his invention the gramophone to bypass Edison's "phonograph" Trademark.
The first words successfully recorded by Edison when testing the phonograph were "Mary had a little lamb." This was on a tinfoil-wrapped cylinder recorder. Edison announced the invention on November 21, 1877.
Well, the the turntables and the Edison's function the same, I think. A person speaks into a horn, which moves the needle that makes wedges on a disc or cylinder depending on what phonograph. Play it back and the needle move along the edges that project through the horn.
