Of HIS FIRST
PHONOGRAP HS
Forty-five Years Ago Wizard
Drew First Rough Sketch

London Museum.

WEST ORANGE. n. J.-Forty-five
years ago on August 12. Thomas A.
Edison drew on a piece OF paper his
first rough sketch of clumsy music
box equipped with a metal horn The
ancestor OF the dictaphone cylinder had
am organ grinder crank, designed to
furnish music power as long as the op-
orator turned it.
The drawing with its scribbled in
struction to a workman "Kruesi. make
this" represented the actual birth or
the phonograph, which today repre-
sentatives of the Edison plants from
an over the United States are gathering
70 celebrate
While the germ of the idea actually
came TO Edison on July is, it was sew
eral week later before he put it on
paper. Followed years Of indigo blue
and cerise tinted horns and self-an-
nouncing records that scratched on
every third note, but the machines de-
yelopment finally reached the rosewood
library table, bellthroated flat disk
stage it is now better known by.

war, using the apparatus we had on
the submarines. A low voice or bari
tone carries fairly well on the radio
but it is not perfect. Talking Is better
because of the even pitch"
In accord with his custom. produc-
lng instead Of prophesying, Edison had
nothng to predict as to future develop
ments Of the phonograph. He believes
nc has It close to perfection. At pres
ont he is striving for q perfect repro
duction of the Ninth Symphony Of Beet
hoven, played by rs instruments.
Il can't say when I will be able TO
do this" he explained. but all things
come to him who hustles while he
waits"
Original in London.
The original model of the phonograph
is now in South Kesington Museum,
London. Edison has given 1t away, as
ne has done with many OF his first
models. 81 suppose J am not interested
in them, because it took so much time
and trouble to make them right that
lose the sentiment in them." he added
IT'S what is ahead that interests me
not the past"
With stretches OF inviting garden
and a cool house sprawllng beneath
the trees OF Llewelyn Park. but a few
blocks from his factory. Edison remains
staunchly at his desk In the hottest
weather.
Hes never home-always at the Of

door bell at his home remarked.
You'll have to wait to see him,
explained perspiring secretary in the
receiving room Of the laboratory, and
he's got six people waiting TO talk

Thus Edison amplfles his maxim and
hustles while his callers wait.

The disposition OF those who made

given a rousing welcome by the
students upon the return from
Princeton where they held the Tiger
to a field goal and safety. has begun
preparations to meet Richmond Uni
Versity next Saturday and virginia
Military Institute a week later. IL
Is realized that Just as Virginia went
north prepared to stop Princeton,
both Spiders and Cadets are laying
for the Orange and Blue.
Princeton's five points were gained
under such circumstances that Vlr'
ginia Is able to regard the score
against her as not a total defeat. In
the first half the Orange and Blue
line easy outplayed that Of the Tiger
on both offense and defense, gain
ing as much ground and standing
fast in tight places. Both Prince
ton scores were made on flukes that
might not have occurred had the
game not been played in the driving
rain.
But Coaches Campbell and Able,
though much pleased over the show
ing made up north. have warned the
eleven against placing too much
confidence in their abality to keep
up the stride struck Saturday. Rain
yesterday interfered with regular
practice but the team will spend the
remaining afternoons this week In
intensive training to get ready FOR
the University of Richmond.
Early Sunday morning the team
was met at the station by cheer.
ing crowd of students who loaded
the squad into a truck and paraded
all through the University grounds.
Such a demonstration OF spirit has
not been witnessed here In many
seasons. The great things expected

everyone is hopeful that after sew

has a winning team as last.

The proposed meeting between the

shift in the high school schedule,
which brings Tech against Central
on November and the meeting Of
Central and Western next Tuesday,
robs the local boys OF a chance to
make the grade with Episcopal.
Tech. however. Is down for an en-
gagement with the Episcopalians

this despite the absence from the

Techs showing against the
