The
invention of the phonograph happened quite by accident. Thomas Edison moved to Menlo Park, New Jersy in
1876, where he established an industrial research laboratory. There, Edison was
working on a carbon telephone transmitter to improve the existing Bell telephone system.

improve a telegraph repeater. He attached a telephone diaphragm to the needle
in the telegraph repeater; in this way, he was able to reproduce a recording

tested it. He recited “Mary Had a Little Lamb” into the machine and played his
voice back to a very surprised audience.
