Gramophone
(gcide) | Gramophone \Gram"o*phone\, n. [Gr. ? a thing drawn or written
(fr. ? write) + -phone, as in telephone. Originally a
trademark.]
An instrument for recording, preserving, and reproducing
sounds, the record being a tracing of a phonautograph etched
in some solid material. Reproduction is accomplished by means
of a system attached to an elastic diaphragm. This older term
is almost completely replaced for modern devices by the word
phonograph (or hi-fi), and technological changes have
made the term sound antiquated, and it is usually used to
refer to older non-electronic versions of the phonograph.
