February, 1889 Article - The New Talking Machine

[SonnyPhono]

I have a book from 1889 called The Atlantic Monthly - A Magazine Of Literature, Science, Art and Politics. There were volumes put together in book form and mine is a compilation of each monthly publication from January to June of 1889. In the February section of the book, there is an interesting article called "The New Talking-Machines." The person who wrote the article states he followed closely the development of the phonograph as well as Bell's Graphophone. There are some interesting things suggested in this article that I had never heard before so I decided to post scans of the pages to hear other peoples thoughts.
