Gramophone

Today music can be commonly listened to on phones, computers, and mp3 players, but in the past, music recording wasn't simple or easy. Thomas Edison attempted the first design of a music recording and playing device in 1877. He termed his invention a "phonograph", and it worked by recording sounds on round cylinders. However, the quality of the production was extremely poor, and each recording could only be played once.

Improving on Edison's design, Alexander Graham Bell invented the first graphophone, which worked by using wax cylinders. Although the sound quality was much improved compared to the phonograph, each cylinder had to be recorded separately. This prevented mass production of the same recording, limiting its functional use.

Therefore, in 1887 Emile Berliner patented the first successful sound recorder and called it the gramophone. Unlike the previous two attempts, the gramophone did not record on cylinders, and instead used flat records made of glass. When recording, a small groove was etched into the disks' round surface. These grooves could then be placed underneath the arm on the gramophone, where a needle would read and transmit the sound vibrations to the speaker.

Finally, mass-production of records was possible through the use of a Gramophone, and numerous disks were made from each recording. By 1894, Berliner had created the United States Gramophone Company, which recoded and manufactured hundreds of records each year.

The gramophone continued to be a strong presence in the recording industry and throughout households worldwide until the arrival of World War II. More advanced record players were developed in the 1910s and 20s that exceeded the capabilities of the original Gramophones. Today, as the music recording industry continues to improve, and music devices become more high-tech, it is important to remember the gramophone as the first music-recording device that was a pillar of excellence and led the industry to its modern-day success.

History of Television Invention

Have you ever wondered about life without television? What if you cannot watch any of your favourite shows- only listen to the radio for some entertainment! We should be thankful to Philo Farnsworth for inventing the first all-electronic television.

Philo Farnsworth

Philo was always intrigued by machines. When he was still a kid, scientists were talking about inventing a ‘television’; a machine which will have sound and moving pictures. He had the idea of how to invent such a machine- he knew he had to break images into parallel lines of light, capture them, transmit them as electrons and then reassemble them for people to watch. But he did not have the resource or money. Philo went on to work as a radio mechanic but dreamt of inventing the TV. It was when he was in California, he discussed this idea with few businessmen who invested money and after years of failed attempts, Philo finally invented the first all-electronic television set. He broadcasted the image of his wife, the motivation behind his invention on 25th August, 1934.

John Logie Baird

John Logie Baird is the person who is given credit for inventing the television for the very first time. He experimented in an attic room in London for years until he succeeded in transmitting an old, moving, grayscale image of a talking ventriloquist dummy on a screen in 1925. He called it ‘the Televisor’.

By 1930, Baird had managed to develop a system to broadcast simultaneous sound with the images. Baird’s television was mechanical in design. The transmission composed of as less as 30 parallel lines compared to the many pixels we have today. It resulted in small, fuzzy images on the screen.

But the Television was here to stay. It gained popularity among scientists and investors and improvements started happening in a fast paced manner.

The basis of all modern television and cameras, the cathode ray tube, was invented by Ferdinand Braun. This tube would change the electronic lines into moving pictures and better clarity. Today this has been replaced by thinner screens that use liquid crystal display, LCD and plasma, thus making our TV viewing more enjoyable and entertaining.
