On 6 December 1877, Thomas Edison made history by stepping into the offices of Scientific American with his latest invention—the cylinder phonograph.
With a twist of the crank, he astounded the gathered audience as the machine came to life, reproducing a clear and crisp recording: "Good morning. How do you do? How do you like the phonograph?"
This ingenious device, capable of capturing and playing back sound, marked the dawn of an unprecedented era in audio technology, leaving the witnesses in awe of Edison's brilliance.
