Upon looking back to Mr. Perry's recorded a talk about his life as a young man and the wax cylinder was carefully placed in an office safe for security purposes, the untimely disappearance of the wax cylinder that has never been solved! Needless to say; the mind boggles, indeed, when one considered something that was carefully placed in a safe of all places? You would have thought it was well secured! According to documentations, that was never to be!!" Oh well, strange things do happen, don't they! Nevertheless, the story was fascinating. Stories such the above passionately appropriates the true value of an ingenious accomplishment that has allowed us able examination of the lives of human beings with such propinquity, that it illustrates an epitaph dating back to almost the beginning of American society. However, regardless of the competition between Edison and Berliner. Although the Thomas Edison's Diamond disc phonograph was a challenge to Emil Berliner's gramophone, it was not a successful venture for Thomas Edison, he had to relinquish the thought of carrying on with the diamond disc phonograph though it was much better than the Berliner version. The Thomas Edison's Diamond Flat Disc was played with diamond needles, the diamond disc was much more robust than Emil Berliner's version, but the Thomas Edison's new diamond disc did not bring success, probably because they were made in a rather selfish manner of non-compatibility that his diamond disc could not play on other systems only his diamond disc phonograph. Thomas Edison probably made his diamond disc for the sole purpose of controlling the commercial market. Whatever it maybe, we are residing in a world in which we are able to trace back in time of history. |
