A Disc Record Ahead of Its Time

Post by phonogfp »

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

October 3, 1893: Joseph Wassenich was granted a U.S. patent for a “Tablet for Recording Sound Vibrations.” This was the first known envisioning of a flexible, 2-sided disc with a paper label, and a secondary hole (as adopted by Zonophone in 1900).
