Another outstanding history of the development of the phonograph.

Outstanding except for all of the broad errors.

Please feel free to make a better video. I'm sure I would enjoy watching it free of any errors. :)

I wish that I had the time to do something like that. In the late 1970s, I produced slide shows and made many such things the slow, old-fashioned, hard way with AVL Eagles and Doves and Ektagraphic slide projectors, etc. I’m especially proud of the shows that I did for the late Crombie Taylor, AIS, former Dean of the USC School of Architecture on the Louis Sullivan banks and the Crystal Palace in London. Now, I have Boinx Fotomagico on my Macs, but don’t have the time or the inclination. The Phonautograph part was fine, but he paints everything else with far too broad of a brush to be useful to gain any real knowledge. A shame.
