The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. It used cylinder records.

In 1887, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to near the center. He called his invention the gramophone to bypass Edison's "phonograph" Trademark.
