Edison and his phonograph

Original - The invention which first gained Edison fame was the phonograph in 1877. This accomplishment was so unexpected by the public at large as to appear almost magical. His first phonograph recorded on tinfoil around a grooved cylinder which allowed the recordings to only be replayed a few times.

Reason: Because of its great historical and encyclopedia value.

Oppose The machine shows too little detail, and there is nothing especially unique about the picture, even though the subject is indeed very unique. EgraS (talk) 05:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
