It was invented by a man who was all but completely deaf. It came into being in the last third of the 19th century. In 1878, Thomas Edison wrote an article telling what his new recording machine would be good for. It could be used for letter writ- ing, dictation, phonographic books for the blind, speech lessons, fami- ly records, music box toys, clocks, and a lot of other things. Way down at the bottom of the list, he included the reproduction of music. Edison knew his wax and foil cylinder machine was impor- tant. However, in October of 1878, he quit work on it and began to work on the electric light. A few years later, Bell & Tainter introduced their "graphophone." Edison labeled it nothing but a model of his original phonograph. He went back to work on his cylin- drical sound machine. In 1890, Columbia Phonograph Company became the leader in commercial recording. The price of a Columbia phonograph was nearly $290. In 1895, Columbia worked with Edison to come up with a ma- chine that could be sold for $75. Beat in egg yolks. Add flour, and salt. Pinch off dough, form into balls the size of large marbles.

Edison showed no interest, and Berliner sold it to Bell labora- tories. It made him rich, Later, Berliner invented a way to record on disks. Berliner went back to Germany and got a license to manufacture his new machine that he had re-named "The Gramaphone." In 1895, a syndicate in Philadelphia put up $25,000 to manufacture the new style of records and machine. They had al- so got the price down to about twelve dollars for a phonograph.
