bhadeshia123 | 1920's Tyrela gramophone - powered by steel @bhadeshia123 | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 23 seconds ago.
This gramophone is made in the early 1920s, out of mahogany wood. It is hand wound (to store energy in a steel spring) and uses 78 r.p.m. records. The volume of the output can be controlled by opening and closing the doors. The steel-needle translates the topology of the grooves on the record, into vibrations that feed the the horn from which the sound can be heard.
Some microscopes work by scanning a needle extremely close to the surface of a sample, giving almost atomic resolution of the surface topology. The force between the needle and surface provides feedback to a piezoelectric crystal that actuates to maintain a very small, constant distance from the surface.
This particular gramophone belongs to Dina and Frank Abbott.
