Cache container relates to the typical view of "Edison"
Thomas Edison held a record 1,093 patents for his inventions,
this
series visits a few of the less known inventions he made
In 1905 Edison Invented a revolutionary new type of dictating
machine, which enabled the dictator to hear repetitions and make
paper scale corrections.
A dictation machine is a sound recording device most commonly used
to record speech for later playback or to be typed into
print.
The name "Dictaphone" is a trademark of the company of the same
name, but has also become a common term for all dictation machines,
as a genericized trademark.
Sometimes when the general term rather than the specific company is
referred to, the variation "dictophone" is used.
The differentiation of office dictation devices from other early
phonographs (which commonly had attachments for making one's own
recordings) was gradual. The machine marketed by the Edison Records
company was trademarked as the "Ediphone".
This Invention led to casette Tapes for recording and eventually to
what we use now, digital voice recorders.
