ods of itecording and Ito'
producing sound.
F. % , Mngmiro in lfarper's Weekly :
One of the most brilliant conceptions of
i1lr. Thomas A. Edison was that a record
t could ho nlado of 801111(18 , from which the
sounds Could be reproduccd. After considerable
sidorable cxne iawnt111r.Edison nvenled
the Instrument known the world over as
the phonograph. This little machine
\ ' consists of a eylindor about three inches
in diameter , covered with a shallow
spiral groove , upon which is plteed : tin'
foil. The cylinder is so nrranged that it
will travel horizontally back o forth by
111ea11d of a 5Crety , a11d is operated by n
crank. The sounds are communicated to
the tinfoil by asteel point attached to a
dtaphragnn that is : u dated by the sounds
coming through a tube , to which is at.
tached a nnoutlIpiece. Tue concussion of
the sound-waves striking upon the dia
pliragnt forces the metal point forward ,
which is already in contact with the tin'
foil , and snakes indentations as the cylinder -
der revolves with the movement of the
crank ,
lliordcrto reproduce the sounds the
dinpln agm is replaced to its point of
starling a11d the steel point goes over the
record , follovinc the path of the indentations -
tions nmiule on ilia thtoil upon the rota-
thout of the cy'linder. Thu point agitoles
the din ) hragmim ' , tvhiclt in turn agitates the
air in thou tU'b0 , cal the repetition of the
sound is thereby reproduced.
Several hundred of the machines
nbovc dcsnribwd were lut upon the mar'
kit and quiet a number sold , but the
phIonogrq)11 : ) failed to make a success , for
the reason that the m achfuo was not only
a Clumsy piece of mechanism , frequently
getting out of adjustment , but more es-
poeimll' ' because of the fact that the sur
face upon which the record was mulw ;
tvns pliabl0 anti likely to be eblitorntCl (
by a inure accidental pressure 111)011 it ,
Believing in thu possibdtyof nlakiuga
successful machine to record and pro'
duce sounds , I'rof. Aloxandir ( Gralinmi :
Boll , 1)r. Chichester A. Bell and Mr.
Sdnmer Tam ter associated themselves
toguthor , under f lit mane of the Volbt
LThorntory : association , and cstablislmed
a lnboratory in the city of IVashiugton ,
ono of the principal objects of which waste
to experiment upon nethods of recording -
ing and producing sound. After several
years of experiment the inventors of lice
graphuphono now desire that the writer
shall introduce to the world the results
they luave obtained.
Thu word "graphophole" is a sinlplo
transposition of the word ' ' , '
mm ; , intended to convey the samio
umcaning.
Mr. Suanter'1'aintor soon saw that tinfoil -
foil presetiled a surface twilit for the purr
porn it teas called 111)011 to fulfill , because
of its ulinbility and destructibility. lslawy
and eltiboitu experiments were miauto to
j diSCot'el' a substance 111)011 which a per.
feet and durable sound record could be
made , b1r. 'laiuter conceived time idea
of using a surface upon tvlueh to sound
record could be cut , instead of itldunliug
a soft maul ) liable surface us done in time
Edison nnachine. It tvns lin ally dcebled
upon to use a paper surface coated with
a preparation composed of wax anti par'
uilino.
' 1'ho graphophono is nutdo In two
forms , one to atke : the records upon it
cylindrical surface , time other upon a disk
or lint surface , time seine principles hov
ever , governing each machine. The ma
clines are provided with two thin
phragms , one used in making the record
and the other in reproducing the sotmd
Thu cylindrical naachiue stands about
hive or six inches high by eight wide , : utd
weights about ten wounds. Thera is r.o
skill used in thin nlanlpnlation of the mar
chine , the rotation of the cylinder being
nccomplished by a crank of automatic
motion , Mr. Tantor has exhibited a
great mmnouut of ingenuity turd skill in
devising the various parts of the machine

rocy of the movements of nil its parts ,
Ugrou a dkapragnm three iuehes is diameter -
eter a steel Ioint is attached , tvhiclt cuts
a minute Imaulino in the surface of the
wax cylinder upon the : i ritation of time
dfaphra'rmit by a sound , the indenttion
is so light as to be scarcely perceptible ,
and yet these records can be gone over
time maid again , ; unl are just as perfect as
they weru at first.
Upon a cylinder six inches in length by
: um inch tool quarter in dinuteter one is
enabled to record at least ftye minutes'
conversation. The cylinder holder is
constructed with a ball joint at one cud
amid can be easily tipper so as to allow
the hollow cylinrler.to be rapidly sloped
on or oil'
Time disk machhno probably has some
advuntages : over the cylindrical machine ,
because of the fact tlmat time record is
made upon a lint surface , and appears is
the form of a spiral hue. For time purpose -
pose of copy'in'g records nett possibly for
preservation , tile lint surface is probably
superior , but as cacti machine has advantages -
vantages peculiar to itself , it is : a tiillicul-
mnatter to judge which will prove the superior -
perior for all uurposes.
Enter ei these aachules is in a c01idi-
Lion at time present time to do the amat-
ueasis work usually done by stemiograplm-
cr8. For instance , any one many sit before -
fore the graplmopuone and in ordinary
tones speak his dulycorrespondence : into
time machine , lfis letters can then be
written b , a copyist who can write fromu
the dictaton of the machine.
By a neat meehatical contrivance the
operator is enabled to take as many
words at a time as heocan conveniently
reuemiber , and should he forget any part
of time sentence , by a slight pressure of
the linger on a rod running along time
base of time machine time reproducer will
repeat the sentence
Should a correspondent also have a
gra phophoc , the writer of the letter
could in a few nonents dictate wlmt
would make a lengthy epistle , enclose it
in a box about the size of the apotiiecary's
"pill box , " phacu a stamp thereon and
transmit it throughi the nulls. the cor-
reSpoulomt can an turn placed the eylin
der received upon his graphophono and
listen to the letter of ins friend with hie
yolce preserved , thereby avoiding the
vexation : old loss of tinio consequent
np0uum encounter with bad clurography.
One of time most novel and interesting
features of this machine is its ability to
record time sounds of a nnmilber of voices
speaking at time saute time ; this is done
on one instrim molt , by one diaphtagnu ,
one utetalie pgint , at upon it single line ,
how it is dour finds an oxpiantion : in time
fact tluit the difurent tones of the voices
vibrate with unlike speed and force , and
thus make difl'creut impressions upon the
diaphrngn , amid move the metallic point
Iii : t dill'erct way , so as to mlaku n record
of time various sounds. The ditpllragmil :
of flits maelmino , like the drum of the car ,
can receive aural record distinctly the
ions sounds of n qunrtctto of singers.
The gra ) hophone is now prepared to
represent nil moods ; it will tell you : t
fanny sloiv , and laugh tvitit you iii
mural tones ; it will repeat a tragedy that
is blood-curtiling ut its nature ; it tvdl tell
you a love story , tvitlt nil time ardor of a
wooer ; it will sumgyomm an Irish 5omg , o
