Edison Phonograph Core Idea Recalled From Early Notes
A description of the phonograph mechanism explains the drum turning endwise with a tin foil groove to record sound. A membrane and needle in a hollow cylinder read the groove and press into foil to capture impressions, then reversing the drum reproduces the sound. It notes improvements since Edison’s original design while core principles remain unchanged.
