TH GRAMOPHONE
by Emile Berliner
Emile Beliner was the first inventor to start recording on flat disks or records instead of the cylinder. The first records were made of glass, later zinc, or plastic. The Gramophone had a needle that read the grooves in the record by vibrations an transmitted the informations to the gramophone speaker. His disks were the first sound recordings that could be mass-produced from molds.
Berliner founded 'The Gramophone Company' for the mass production of his discs and the gramophones that played them back.
To help promote his gramophone Berliner persuaded popular artists to record their music using his system and later he used Francis Barraud's painting of 'His Masters voice' as hiscompany's official trademark.
Emile Berliner founded many other companies for the production of the gramophone in many other countries.
