• 1 2013-10-12T17:10:40-07:00 Offended Smith’s Ears 9 Edison’s Phonograph Is Criticized for Its Lack of Fidelity plain 2013-12-26T18:26:42-08:00 Smith was not the only one with a critique. For instance, see the Telegraphic Journal and Electrical Review in 1879: “Edison’s phonograph, as now constructed, is in several important respects defective. For example, the time of recording the sound on the apparatus is proportioned to the size of the barrel. The necessity of wrapping the barrel with foil does not permit of the conservation of speech, and by reason of its flimsy character only allows of several repetitions” (“A New Phonograph”).

• 1 2013-10-12T17:08:24-07:00 Cylinder Phonograph 6 On Edison’s Storage Medium for the Phonograph plain 2013-12-26T18:22:01-08:00 In 1878, Edison’s cylinders were wrapped in tinfoil. Wax cylinders came shortly thereafter and were mass-marketed in the 1880s (the decade when Smith published “Some Possible Forms of Phonograph”).
