    THE EARLY YEARS OF THE ACOUSTIC PHONOGRAPH ITS DEVELOPMENTAL ORIGINS AND FALL FROM FAVOR 1877-1929 by CARL R. MC QUEARY A SENIOR THESIS IN HISTORICAL AMERICAN TECHNOLOGIES Submitted to the General Studies Committee of the College of Arts and Sciences of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of BACHELOR OF GENERAL STUDIES Approved Accepted Director of General Studies March, 1990 0^ Ac T 3> ^"^^ DEDICATION No. 2) This thesis would not have been possible without the love and support of my wife Laura, who has continued to love me even when I had phonograph parts scattered through­ out the house. Thanks also to my loving parents, who have always been there for me. The Early Years of the Acoustic Phonograph Its developmental origins and fall from favor 1877-1929 "Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snov^. And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go." With the recitation of a child's nursery rhyme, thirty-year- old Thomas Alva Edison ushered in a bright new age--the age of recorded sound. Edison's successful reproduction and recording of the human voice was the end result of countless hours of work on his part and represented the culmination of mankind's attempts, over thousands of years, to capture and reproduce the sounds and rhythms of his own vocal utterances as well as those of his environment. Although the industry that Edison spawned continues to this day, the phonograph is much changed, and little resembles the simple acoustical marvel that Edison created.

    EDISON AND GROWING HOSTILITIES1 By Raymond Wile The spring of 1878 witnessed a flurry of phonographic activity at the Edison laboratories. Caveats were filed with the United States Patent Office, and Prelimi­ nary Specifications were filed on April 24, 1878 which resulted in the eventual issuance of a British patent.2 Despite this initial activity, the Edison involvement rapidly wound down by the end of that summer. In September a fatal mistake occurred-final specifications were supplied for the British patent, but the equiva­ lent American applications were neglected. In December, an attempt was made to rectify the omission by predating a series of applications, but the U.S. Patent Office refused to allow this and the matter had to be dropped. Except for a patent applied for on March 29, 1879 and granted in 1880 the phonograph seems to have been completely abandoned by Edison in favor of his new interest in the electric light.3 During the first half of the eighties there is no evidence whatsoever of any phono­ graph activity emanating from Menlo Park. However, Edward H. Johnson, who had done much experimenting for the Edison Speaking Phonograph Company, did be­ come involved in some experimenting after his return from England in 1883-enough so for Bergmann and Company to bill the group for 192 1/2 hours of experimental work.4 Edison had become completely disenchanted and reasoned that the concept of the phonograph was incapable offurther developments. The members of the Edison Speak­ ing Phonograph Company were delighted to relieve Edison of the responsibility for further experimenting when he released them from the necessity of investing further capital.

  • The History of Nipper and His Master's Voice by Erik Østergaard
    The History of Nipper and His Master's Voice By Erik Østergaard Nipper and His Master's Voice - What is the story? Nipper the dog was born in Bristol in Gloucester, England in 1884 and so named because of his tendency to nip the backs of visitors' legs. When his first master Mark Barraud died destitute in Bristol in 1887, Nipper was taken to Liverpool in Lancashire, England by Mark's younger brother Francis, a painter. In Liverpool Nipper discovered the Phonograph, a cylinder recording and playing machine and Francis Barraud "often noticed how puzzled he was to make out where the voice came from". This scene must have been indelibly printed in Barraud's brain, for it was three years after Nipper died that he committed it to canvas. Nipper died in September 1895, having returned from Liverpool to live with Mark Barraud's widow in Kingston-upon-Thames in Surrey, England. Though not a thoroughbred, Nipper had plenty of bull terrier in him; he never hesitated to take on another dog in a fight, loved chasing rats and had a fondness for the pheasants in Richmond Park! In 1898 Barraud completed the painting and registered it on 11 February 1899 as "Dog looking at and listening to a Phonograph". "Dog looking at and listening to a Phonograph" Barraud then decided to rename the painting "His Master's Voice" and tried to exhibit it at the Royal Academy, but was turned down. He had no more luck trying to offer it for reproduction in magazines. "No one would know what the dog was doing" was given as the reason! Next on Barraud's list was The Edison Bell Company, leading manufacturer of the cylinder phonograph, but again without success.

Chichester A. Bell. (Portion of written matter inside Package.—) We, Alexander Graham Bell; Sumner Tainter; and Chichester A. Bell, having associated ourselves together for the joint prosecution of inventions and experiments, desire to put on record a process and apparatus which we have devised for recording sound-vibrations, and for reproducing the sounds from the record, without deterioration of the record itself. Notes by Charles Sumner Tainter, October 23, 1881, with transcript http://www.loc.gov/resource/magbell.25100201 Library of Congress For some months previous to the present date (September 1881) our invention has been practically perfected, but we still withhold publication in the hope that our continued efforts may result in a more simple form of apparatus, adapted for popular use. The possibility of reproducing the sounds of articulate speech from a record was demonstrated several years ago by the construction of the Edison Phonograph, but 2 the articulation of the instrument was, at best, very imperfect and disagreeable; and the indented tinfoil record soon became deteriorated by use, so that the words impressed upon it ceased to be reproduced after a very few repetitions.

  • A STUDY on PHOTOPHONES -..:: Ascent Journals
    International J.of Multidispl.Research & Advcs. in Engg.(IJMRAE), ISSN 0975-7074, Vol. 2, No. III (October 2010), pp. 489-499 A STUDY ON PHOTOPHONES S. BASKARAN AND HARSH DEV Abstract Apart from limited military applications, optical telephony remained a relatively impractical form of communication from the invention of the photophone in 1880, to the development of semiconductor light sources and detectors in the 1960s. While optical fibres have become a major component of modern telecommunications, and infra-red remote controls are incorporated in many domestic appliances, optical communication has been largely ignored by radio amateurs. Construction projects for photophones have been published from time to time over the last 60 years, but there have been few reviews of optical communication and its potential as a medium for amateur voice and data communication. This article is a mixture of history, theory and personal experience, written with the intention of introducing optical communication to the general body of radio amateurs and possibly stimulating further experimentation in the oldest branch of wireless The invention of the selenium cell in 1872 and the telephone in 1876, made it possible to detect modulated light, and Mr A.C. Brown of London is generally credited with the first transmission of articulate speech over a light beam in 1878. Much of the pioneer work in optical telephony was carried out by Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Sumner Tainter during 1879 and 1880, which was presented in a paper 1, read by Bell to the American Association for the Advancement of Science in August 1880. The Bell photophone (Figure 1) used a flexible plane mirror mounted at the end of a speaking tube, so that the sound pressure caused the mirror to change shape, modulating the beam intensity of the reflected light.

  • History of Parlophone Singles Parlophon Began As a German
    History of Parlophone Singles Parlophon began as a German company founded in 1896 by Carl Lindström, a Swedish inventor who lived in Berlin. Lindström made phonographs using the name “Parlophon,” and dictating machines using the name “Parlograph.” In 1911, Lindström’s company obtained controlling interest in the International Talking Machine Company – the German corporation that owned and had created Odeon Records. Lindström saw the opportunity to merge the European record manufacturing and player manufacturing markets, and to expand this new industry. During this period, records were being exported from Germany to Great Britain in increasing numbers – so that German imports consisted of a sizable portion of the British record market. Lindström endeavored to expand the production of Odeon’s discs worldwide, and after the First World War he succeeded in bringing the Odeon label to the United States, but his struggles to acquire a British company had been unsuccessful. William Barry Owen worked for German‐American inventor Emile Berliner, the man who introduced the disc record and “gramophone” in late 1887. In July, 1897, he left US‐based National Gramophone Company, a subsidiary of Berliner Gramophone, to move to England. He and Trevor Williams founded the UK Gramophone Company in May, 1898 – not long after Lindström founded his Parlophon company in Germany. Their independent company became Berliner’s partner in Britain. One of Berliner’s associates was Frank Seaman, who had managed the National Gramophone Company. Seaman left Berliner in 1899. Using technology that he “borrowed” from Berliner, Seaman founded Zon‐o‐Phone Records. Seaman pursued an alliance with Columbia Records, offering Columbia royalties for the stylus design in exchange for driving Emile Berliner out of business in America.

  • ARSC Journal, Fall 1991 207 American Graphophone & Columbia
    THE AMERICAN GRAPHOPHONE COMPANY AND THE COLUMBIA PHONOGRAPH COMPANY ENTER THE DISC RECORD BUSINESS, 1897-19031 By Raymond R. Wile By 1897 the American Graphophone Company and its marketing arms, the Columbia Phonograph Company and the Columbia Phonograph Company: General were in a position to control a large portion of the talking machine industry. Patent problems involving the Edison interests had been resolved in late 1896 when the two warring parties agreed to accept consent decrees and to cross-license each other. Delays in the settlement of the North American Phonograph Company liquidation adversely affected Edison and gave the Graphophone group valuable lead time. And now that major segments of the Bell and Tainter patents had been sustained in the courts, the American Graphophone Company decided to test claims concerning pre-recorded cylinders. Relying upon these, as well as on patents granted or pending that had been obtained from Douglass, Bettini and Macdonald, the company commenced a wide-ranging series of suits in Midwest and East Coast federal jurisdictions. Edison soon applied for and received a license under the Macdonald patent when it was granted-but at a cost of $10,000. If the Graphophone Company was successful in its other areas it would effectively control a major portion ofthe market and might even dry up potential supplies of cylinder masters that could be used by Edison's National Phonograph Company. Preliminary injunctions were obtained in all cases except one brought against the United States Phonograph Company, a major supplier of master recordings to National. Later, after George Tewksberry, its chief motivating force, suffered a progressive mental disorder, even this firm had to admit defeat.

  • Bill Klinger; Association for Recorded Sound Collections
    CYLINDER RECORDS: Significance, Production, and Survival Bill Klinger Association for Recorded Sound Collections This document is a response to requests for comments and data that might help to inform the National Recorded Sound Preservation Study. It describes the significance of cylinder phonograph records and offers quantitative estimates regarding their production and survival. 1 Respondent’s Background and Affiliation I write partly as a private record collector and partly as a representative of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC). ARSC is a nonprofit organization, founded in 1966, dedicated to the preservation and study of sound recordings—in all genres of music and speech, in all formats, and from all periods. ARSC is unique in bringing together private collectors, historians, discographers, engineers, and institutional professionals, including representatives of some of the world’s largest libraries and archives. I chair the Cylinder Subcommittee of the ARSC Technical Committee, which developed the ARSC Guidelines for Cylinder Playback Equipment (funded by grants from the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences). I am a Founding Member of the National Recording Preservation Board, representing ARSC. For more than thirty years, I have researched the history, technology, and products of the cylinder record industry. My personal collection currently includes 7,277 cylinder records, of nearly all types and brands. 2 Significance of Cylinder Records Mechanical sound-carriers configured in cylindrical form represent an important part of our recorded- sound heritage, for many reasons: 2.1 World’s Oldest Format for Sound Recording and Playback Thomas Edison’s tinfoil phonograph of 1877—which employed a thin sheet of metal foil, formed into a cylinder—was the first device to successfully “capture” and reproduce sound.
