"On This Day in Phonographic History..."

 

June 27, 1885: Chichester Bell & Charles Sumner Tainter filed for a U.S. patent for “Recording and Reproducing Speech & Other Sounds.” This would become one of the industry’s fundamental patents (No.341,214), specifying engraving sound rather than indenting it (as Edison had done previously).

 

May 4, 1886: Chichester Bell & Charles Sumner Tainter were granted a U.S. patent for “Recording and Reproducing Speech & Other Sounds.” No.341,214. This patent specified engraving sound rather than indenting it, and was one of the fundamental patents upon which the Columbia Phonograph Company was built.
