A long tribute recalls Thomas Hood Macdonald born 1859 near Marysville California. He sailed around the world as a youth, taught in Marysville, served as a soldier and clerk in Washington, later became an inspector for North American Phonograph Co. and helped promote the graphophone with Edward D. Easton.
A reminiscence connects the North American Phonograph Company collapse in 1893 to a lasting coalition of Columbia Phonograph and American Graphophone with Mr Easton at their core. It recalls Macdonald as factory manager, his later role as director and consultive engineer, and the high praise of his inventive mind and modest bearing amid the era’s technological rise and public memory.
