use of the talking machine was made
by railway publication Just after the
wreck on the Southern Railway which
resulted in the death of President Sam
uel Spencer. In the inquiry into the
causes of the wreck there was dis
about what messages had been sent
governing trains. The suggestion is
TO have recording talking machine in
every railroad telegraph Office. 1t
would make n complete and absolutely
correct report of every message sent,
which could be read by any operator.
In this connection it is interesting TO
note that IL was while experimenting
with a telegraph instrument improve
ment that Mr.. Edison stumbled into
the principle of the phonograph, lie
was attempting 10 perfect a telegraph
sending instrument which would send
the dots and dashcs of the Morse code
by the opening and closing Of the cir
emit through perforations in sheet
wrapped about a cylinder of metal. He
found that the perforations represent
ing dots and dashes produced the same
der was again revolved under it. Thus
the phonograph was born.
When Edison invented the phono-
graph in 1877 there were many bril-
liant predictions for his crude machine.
II was claimed that the phonograph
could be fitted with horn which
would throw the sound very far, and
that machine mounted on the Statue
Of Liberty in New York harbor could
be used for warning signals to mari
ners AT first, talking machine music
was not OF a very high order. There
was scratching, metallic accompani-
mcnt that was anything but pleasant,
but the many improvements and add,
tions TO the marhine have removed
these disagreeable features TO such an
extent that IL now gives most creditable
reproductions. In ono Nebraska town
a large graphophone is doing the work
