On November 8 1887, Emile Berliner, a German immigrant, patented a sound recording/ playback device he called the gramophone. Though similar to Edison's phonograph and Bell's graphophone, the gramophone recorded on flat disks or records instead of cylinders. Unlike the cylinders, the discs were able to be massed produced.
