What does a gramophone does?
a gramophone was used for communication ================ "Gramophone" is the name given in Britain to early phonographs. A gramophone is a record player.

In other words, gramophone is used to play records.
What are gramophones?
'Gramophone' is a trademark, and was an early term for what came to be known as the 'record player.' Depending on your age, however, the next question you might ask is, 'What are record players?'A gramophone is a record player that plays flat records on a turntable (with or without amplification). They were created a few years after Edison invented his phonograph that played cylindrical records to bypass both his patents (by using a disk instead of a cylinder) and his trademarks (calling them gramophones instead of phonographs).One of the earliest brands of gramophone sold was the Victrola.Ultimately the gramophone design made the Edison phonograph design obsolete, but the name phonograph came to apply in the public mind to both designs and many people have completely forgotten the original meaning of the word gramophone.

From 1949 to 1958, the term "race records" denoted the category of music now termed "rhythm and blues".
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.

Will a gramophone play 33 LP records?
yes ************************** It depends on how generic you are using the term "gramophone." A non-electrical sound producing phonograph (acoustical) either spring wound or electric motor (often called a "Victrola") will not play 45's or 33's. They are intended for 78's only through the late 1940's. By about 1950 the 78's were made of a softer material and you will ruin them trying to play them with a steel needle. Modern electrically amplified machines that have the 33 speed on them you can play LP's on or 45's on. Just make sure the correct stylus is installed so you don't damage your records.
