The October Photo of the Month is the result.</i><br><br>In 1898, Vladimir Poulsen (1869-1942), a telephone engineer in Denmark, invented the Telegraphone, a machine that recorded sound on a steel wire. This was the first incarnation of tape recording. While wire recording was not to last, this invention brought the idea into peoples consciousness. When he graduated from university in 1894, he began work to improve telephone transmission. A cable could handle only one conversation at a time, meaning that people had to wait for a turn to use a telephone line. He came up with a machine to record a message, transmit a high-speed version of it, and decode it on the other end. He obtained a patent for it in 1898. This was the first all electromagnetic recording system. This was a realization of the idea described by Oberlin Smith of the USA in 1888, who may well have made a prototype, though this was never developed or presented.  Scientists had thought such a system would be impossible to realize, and disregarded the idea. Poulsen alone realized it. This was the first completely electromagnetic system, and it remains the standard for storing recorded material.<br><br>The Electrician of April 26th 1901 had the above photo of a Telegraphone shown at the Paris Exhibition 1900 together with the following description quoted verbatim.:-<br><br>"The Poulsen telegraphone  receives the speech in the form of an oscillatory electric current just as a telephone does, and is connected to the telephonic transmitter by a wire, which may be inches, yards, or miles long, just as in the case of an ordinary telephone circuit terminating in a receiver instead of in a recordmg telephone. It will thus enable telephonic messages to be received and automatically recorded verbatim and vivá voce in the absence of the person to whom they are addressed, and also for a telephone subscriber to leave stock messages in his own voice to be employed in his absence."<br><br>"A spiral of steel wire wound on a cylindrical drum receives the record in the form of magnetisation induced on it by a, small two-pole electromagnet which replaces the telephone receiver in an ordinary telephone circuit, as explained above. This magnet travels along horizontally, touching the wire, while the eylinder revolves, as in a phonograph. The same magnet serves for re-transmitting the speech; it is then simply connected in series with a telephone receiver while the cylinder is turned and the magnét travels along as before, and the voice is heard in the telephone. For obliterating the record the same magnet is again employed, a continuous current being passed round its coils by the microphone battery, when, by turning the wire past the magnet as before, all trace of the record is removed. In a form of instrument intended for longer messages, a flat steel ribbon is employed, and run off from one reel to another across the poles of the electromagnet. As in the case of a phonograph, the cylinder may be turned by hand, by clockwork, or by a motor."<br><br><i>This second form is a pure tape recorder from 1900!!!.</i><br><center><img name="pic01" src="photos/tlgrphn2.jpg" width="600" height="239" align="Bottom" border="0" vspace="6" alt="tlgrphn2.jpg - 34991 Bytes"></center><br>"The extreme simplicity of the instrument, and the absence of delicate parts and adjustments as compared with a phonograph, are important features.
