How does a gramophone look?
You need a long answer, not a short answer. First there was the Edison phonograph, which recorded speech or music on a wax cylinder. Then there was the Berliner gramophone, which recorded on a shellac disc. Both of these were mechanical and the sound came out of a horn. Later a cabinet was designed so that the horn principle was folded into a box and the sound came out the front. In 1925 mechanical (acoustic) recording was replaced by electrical recording, but the cylinder was losing its popularity, so Edison went out of the phonograph business in 1929. Because "phonograph" was the original invention, disc records were often called phonograph records in America, although the term gramophone survived in England. The biggest record magazine over there is still called "Gramophone." To see what it looks like, you should find a famous painting called "His Master's Voice," which showed a dog listening to a voice coming out of the horn. Actually, that would have been an Edison phonograph, but the gramophone company liked the picture so much that they had it repainted to look like a disc gramophone, even though their machine couldn't produce the sound of the dog's master's voice because you could only make home recordings on a cylinder, not a disc in those days. So the painting became the trademark of The Gramophone Company, which put "His Master's Voice" on the record label in England, and also of the Victor Talking Maching Company, its American affiliate, which became RCA Victor. You might see some old records with that painting on the label.
What was the Impact of the gramophone?
It allowed all classes to listen to music, as orchestral performances were very expensive. It also allowed more choice of music as they were double sided records. It led to the development of the CD player and iTunes.The gramophone, also known as talking machine, was an instrument used alongside the typewriter. It had an impact on people's lives as a means of communication and as a business correspondence device.
Did Thomas Edison invent the gramophone?
The answer is yes...and no. Thomas Edison is credited with inventing the first machine which could record sound and play it back. He called this device a 'phongraph', which essentially means sound writing. The phonograph, though a bit of a sensation at the time, was never commercially produced on any large scale, and remained a parlor trick when Edison basically abandoned it when he began work on his electric light. In the meantime, other inventors, namely Alexander Graham Bell and others, began working on their own improved versions of the device. Bell's group (later known as Columbia) called their device a 'graphophone' (not particularly original, wouldn't you say? Rather than Edison's tinfoil wrapped cylinder, they used a wax cylinder to record. Much better, sound could actually be reliably reproduced, but it still had it's drawbacks. One of those was the need to individually record each cylinder, there was originally no method for mass producing them. Around this time, Edison returned to the field with his 'improved phonograph', using the same wax technology of his competitors. Finally, an inventor named Emile Berliner devised what he called the 'gram-o-phone'. The gramophone used flat disc shaped records of a shellac material. More durable, and with one bi advantage: the records could be stamped out in large volume. So short answer is that Edison first demonstrated the recording of sound, but Berliner's later machine has much more in common with what became the standard record player
When were record players made?
AnswerA device used to record sound was invented in 1877 by Thomas Alva Edison - the first generally known machine to record and play back sounds. The first recording medium was a foil-covered cylinder which recorded vibrations of sound that were focused by a horn-like device onto a diaphragm; the diaphragm vibrated and transmitted the vibrations to a stylus (needle), which etched a helical groove in the foil surface of the rotating cylinder. The sound could then be played back as a needle went along the groove and reversed the process, making the diaphragm vibrate, reproducing the original sound. The first recording was of Edison himself reciting, "Mary had a little lamb."Charles Sumner Tainter (an associate of Alexander Graham Bell) improved the cylinders by making them out of wax. This cylinder style machine evolved into the "Dictaphone", used mostly by administrators for dictating material to be transcribed into hard-copy text by secretaries. The Dictaphone was still in use in the early 1950's.The first flat, circular record was invented in 1887 by Emile Berliner (1851-1929), a German-born American inventor, who also devised the "gramophone" to play his disks. Berliner's records were originally made of glass, then zinc, and later, hard rubber. He founded Deutsche Grammophon, and Britain's Gramophone Co., Ltd.Thomas Edison attempted to compete with the Berliner Gramaphone by designing a disk type machine of his own which played flat, very thick disks on a machine whose stylus tracked by a mechanical drive rather than being drawn across the surface in the spiral grooves. He was not successful, but his machines are highly collectible today.By 1915, records rotated at a standard 78-rpm (rotations per minute) and were made of shellac, a very fragile substance, making these 10 or 12 inch disks - holding about 4 minutes of sound - readily breakable.The long-playing record (the LP) was invented in 1948 at Columbia Records, was 10 or 12 inches in diameter and played at 33 1/3 rpm. The LP was made from flexible plastic vinyl (vinylite). Using new microgrooves, these records recorded over 20 minutes of sound. In 1949, 7-inch, 45-rpm records were introduced.So: Emil Berliner is considered to be the originator of the sound reproducing tool which has evolved into the modern stylus-equipped record player. Along the way, the "wire recorder" and the magnetic-tape recorder came into being. Contemporary electronic/digital technology has provided the next step in the evolution of sound reproduction. Edison's cylinder and disk, Berliner's disk, and the wire recorder have all reached an evolutionary dead end.
