"On This Day (April 25)..."

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

April 25, 1854: Born: Charles Sumner Tainter, co-inventor of the first Graphophone and the first removable and replayable records.

April 25, 1901: Daniel Higham filed for a U.S. patent for a “Phonic Apparatus.” This mechanical amplifier would eventually be manufactured as the reproducers for the “BC” and “BM” Graphophones; the loudest cylinder talking machines of their day.
