The phonograph was used by many people as entertainment. It is now outdated but it has become part of historical importance. The phonograph was tried to be used for talking dolls but the dolls were a disaster.
A phonograph is the old name for what what commonly called a 'record' and more recently referred to as 'Vinyl.
The word 'phono graph' means literally 'sound writing' or writing with sound.
It can refer to the machine used to play the recordings, or the recordings themselves.
It is a disc or cylinder, which has an analogue sound wave impressed onto it, as a spiral groove. The sound can be replayed simply, by rotating the record and allowing a fine needle to rest in the groove.
The needle is attached to a diaphragm and a horn which amplifies the 'squiggles' as the needle is moved by the groove, the sound can then be heard.
The records have been made from various materials, such as wax, shellac, aluminum and vinyl plastic.
First, the word "phonograph" refers to a machine that was used to play records. (Records were once made of shellac, later made of vinyl. Today, many people download music, but back then, they needed what later came to be called a record-player.) The word is used in a sentence like this: Recorded music was very popular even 100 years ago, and many people had a phonograph is their home, so they could listen to their favorite songs.
