Montross Berliner GRamophone

Post by phonogfp »

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

October 8, 1896: Levi Montross filed for a U.S. patent for a “Spring Motor.” This device would become the first spring motor to power the Berliner Gramophone. These lever-wound machines were available from December 1896 until August 1897.
