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.
In that laboratory a year later, Edison invented the phonograph while he was trying to

telegraph repeater; in this way, he was able to reproduce a recording that could be played
