Edison Tinfoil Phonograph
Attach a cone to a cylinder coated in foil. This cylinder is hand cranked and then someone speaks into the cone. This causes vibrations to move a needle to create grooves in the foil which is then played back. -
Wax Cylinder
Again invented by Eddison. Worked the same as a foil coated cylinder excpet used a wax cylinder instead and grooves were created in the wax. -
Gramaphone
Also called phonograph.
Works similar to cynlider exceot grooves are pressed into a flat disc.
