Berliner "Improved Gramophone"

Post by phonogfp »

“On This Day in the History of Recorded Sound…”

August 19, 1897: Eldridge Johnson filed for a U.S. patent for a “Gramophone and Actuating Device Therefore.” This device became the Berliner Improved Gramophone, selling over 30,000 units, and part of the world’s best-known trademark: “His Master’s Voice.”
