“On This Day in the History of Recorded Sound…”
June 9, 1858: Born: Billy Golden, pioneer comic recording artist.
June 9, 1891: Thomas A. Edison was granted a U.S. patent (No.453,741)for what would become known as the Standard Speaker. This contained both recording and reproducing styli, and brought the brief era of the “spectacle device” to a close on entertainment Phonographs. The Standard Speaker would continue as standard equipment on Edison Phonographs until 1899.
