@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw I had uploaded this because it is a fragment of history, and deserves to be preserved. I can assume if it was used in a different context that would be different.

Haha I could go on for hours, but here is a basic idea of how cylinder recording and playback works: a clockwork motor is used, in witch a coil spring is wound, and is held by a ratchet pawl. A “governer” within the mechanism acts as a speed regulator, in which weights attached to a small flywheel are utilized. This will gear to a metal cylinder called the mandrel and will spin it at a constant speed, (160 or so revolutions per minute), witch a metal wormscrew drives what is called the carriage, and you can see this above the mandrel. As the carriage is engaged, it very slowly moves along the length of the mandrel. To record cylinders, a recording head was used. The recording head rests on the carriage, and consists of a thin mica diaphragm between two rubber gaskets with a sharp sapphire stylus centered in the middle of the diaphragm. This is all inlaid in a neat metal body, where at the top a horn is attached; any horn can Be used for recording and playback. As the carriage moves the recorder along slowly, the operator speaks into the horn, the coned shape of the horn will condense the sound, vibrating the stylus, and etching a physical groove into the recording blank. The recording head is then switched out to a playback head or a “reproducer” the reproducer is very similar to the recording head, it still consists of a Mika or copper diaphragm laid between two rubber gaskets, but rather than a recording stylus, a floating playback needle is used. as the carriage is lifted and brought back to its original position, it is set down, and the previously recorded grooves will vibrate the playback needle or stylus, vibrating the diaphragm, and will be amplified back through the horn. If you are confused or have any questions, I will be glad to answer them. Hopefully Tomorrow I will be making a video of how different mechanisms power different cylinder machines, and how playback works in more detail. I will keep you updated 👍

@@polish-ecuadoriandoge4044 hey I do too! I’ll have to post it❤️

@@mrrgstuff I’ll be making a video soon 👍

@@MRJ12vr thanks man! Means a lot

👍

@@GeorgeTheGentleman oh sweet

Thanks man

Thanks man

@@sirduckingham123 ong

Dang it haha I’ll fix that

Btw that’s just surprising not a reproach

@@Xpian By and by, thanks for always following the channel! It means a lot to me.

@@White.Kraken for the disk all I used was a laminated sheet of paper cut to fit the recording machine 👍

@@Brand-lv2pz He’s been practicing 😆

@@Looney3987 it is a later hmv orthophonic from the late 40s, I’ll check when I go to the shop soon because I moved it there 👍

@@Troupee-Lennon 🇮🇪 🤝 🇺🇸 🍻

@@davidhull1481 these where reproductions made in the early 60s. The Aren’t made anymore, I should have made that clear.

@@GeorgeTheGentleman Thanks for your explanation, and you’re right, it makes a difference.

@@retrocollector1999 you are! I believe the tune is ja da melody 👍

@@GeorgeTheGentleman Wilbur Sweatman’s Original Jazz Band had a VERY distinct sound in all of their recordings. The dead giveaway starts at 1:28 👍

Haha I was too
