How does the phonograph work?

Answer 1

Well, the the turntables and the Edison's function the same, I think. A person speaks into a horn, which moves the needle that makes wedges on a disc or cylinder depending on what phonograph. Play it back and the needle move along the edges that project through the horn.

Answer 2

A phonograph uses a stylus to read the vibrations in a record's grooves. These vibrations are then amplified and converted into sound waves that we hear through speakers. The record spins at a constant speed, allowing the stylus to accurately read the audio information encoded in the grooves.
