I enjoyed reading the list of inventions and I wasn't familiar with all of them.

Jim, you didn't write the article. Your version wouldn't have gotten the same attention...
The "expert" author needs a history lesson. I agree, I have heard of all of them except the "Spirit Phone", unless an ouija board is a variation...
I still want to know what happened to those cement phonographs.
