Graphophone

After being an apprentice to Thomas Edison I have learned allot. I have seen first hand how he created his inventions. After his invention of the phonophone I decided to invent the graphophone, the goal was to record and reproduce sound. My partner was Charles Tainter who helped me immensely on this project. We were at a crunch for time because there were so many other scientist at the time wanting to create inventions. But sadly our work was interrupted by the shooting at president Garfield. All of our hard work was in vain because Emilie Berliner got ownership rights before we did in 1887. All though I can not call this invention my own I still look at it that way. I am extremely proud of our hard work and hope to move on to bigger and better things
