field of acoustics which is nothing less than an attempt to record automatically the speech of a very rapid speaker upon paper from which he reproduces the same speech immediately
or years afterward. It would seem that so wonderful result as this would require elaborate machinery on the contrary the apparatus although crude as yet is wonderfully simple." ("Thomas
Edison Home Page") This was done, as Edison explained by directing "sound-waves set...by a human voice...to trace
an impression upon some solid substance..." and played back through forcing that substance to vibrate. ("Thomas Edison Home Page") The vibrations created sound by way of a needle traveling
along embossed tinfoil. Record (disc) technology has advanced from Edisons tinfoil to various forms of polymers. Yet, although the recording processes for conducting the electronic vibrations produced by
music to the LP have changed dramatically, the basic physical principles behind how sound is recorded to disc is nearly the same today as it was in 1877.
Scientific discoveries that influenced the recording industry include: Johannes Gutenburgs movable-type printing press of 1454 (Soundsite, 1997).
Louis Daguerre used chemistry to permanently fix a photographic image and William Fox Talbot replicated positive prints from negatives in 1839 (Soundsite, 1997).
In 1864, James Maxwell postulated the electromagnetic wave theory, which became the basis for radio wave propagation (Schoenberg, "Notes," 1997).
Sound Reproduction is based on reproducing sound waves through a translation of the waves onto a physical object via the motion of a
