It is the first machine to reproduce a recorded sound with clarity. Has anyone come across a wind-up gramophone which required no power? If so, please give its physical description. This is invented by none other than one of the greatest inventor Thomas Alva Edison. His other inventions included the incandescent electric light and the microphone and the Kinetoscope (1847-1931). In case you are curious to hear a sample sound of how a gramophone worked those days, here's the link to the Advertising Record of phonographs, recorded by Len Spencer circa 1906. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Advertising_Record.ogg The recording begins, "I am the Edison phonograph .", and explains the novel benefits of the phonograph from the first person perspective of the machine. A very early landmark of advertising in modern media, this was played widely in shops to entice customers. It is an Ogg Vorbis sound file, length 2m 23s, whose bit rate is 81kbps.
