Did the Romans use quills to write?
No they did not. In the early days the Romans chiselled writing on stone. Then they inscribed bronze tablets with a metal stylus with a pointed end. Next they used a lead stylus a write on wax-coated tablets made of wood. The soft led left a mark. The wax coating made it possible to erase the writing. For erasing a straight-edged, spatula-like implement was placed on the other end of the stylus. It was used in a razor-like way. The Romans also took up the use of papyrus and also took up the reed pen, which was in use in Egypt to write on a papyrus. They developed their own version using the hollow, tubular stems of marsh grasses, especially bamboo. They converted this into a sort of fountain pen by cutting an end into a point which acted as a nib. They filled the stem with or ink and squeezing the reed forced fluid to the nib. Between the 1st century B.C. and the 1st century AD the Romans developed the bound book. To start with they used papyrus, but parchment and vellum became the favourite material. Reed pens were used for these materials as well. The quill replaced the reed pen in the sixth century (after the Romans) because it produced better letters and because the point of the quill was less stiff and retained its sharpness of longer

What are vinyl records?
Vinyl records are discs with a single groove on each side. The groove has undulations which are picked up by a stylus (needle in crude terms) and a transducer (cartridge) into which the stylus is inserted. The disc rotates at a constant speed and the stylus rides the groove. The signal generated by the cartridge in amplified many thousands of times and is reproduced by loudspeakers. Vinyl is the material which replaced the earlier shellac and even earlier wax as "unbreakable" records.
