Descripción

Sound recordings invented by Thomas Edison in 1877. They were the earliest form of phonograph record, and were marketed commercially. Sound would be funnelled through a horn and against a diaphragm, which would vibrate. The resulting vibrations were transmitted to a stylus, which followed a helical path along a surface, usually wax, which coated a rotating cylinder. The resulting cylinder could be played by a cylinder phonograph.
