Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DEJNDD - The phonograph, record player, or gramophone (from the Greek: gramma, letter and phōnē, voice), is a device introduced in 1877 for the recording and reproduction of sound recordings. The recordings played on such a device consist of waveforms that are engraved onto a rotating cylinder or disc. As the cylinder or disc rotates, a stylus or needle traces the waveforms and vibrates to reproduce the recorded sound waves.
The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors had produced devices that could record sounds, Edison's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the recorded sound. His phonograph originally recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet phonograph cylinder, and could both record and reproduce sounds.
Alexander Graham Bell's Volta Laboratory made several improvements in the 1880s, including the use of wax-coated cardboard cylinders, and a cutting stylus that moved from side to side in a zig zag pattern across the record. At the turn of the 20th century, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to gramophone records: flat, double-sided discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to near the center.
Other improvements were made throughout the years, including modifications to the turntable and its drive system, the needle and stylus, and the sound and equalization systems.
The gramophone record was one of the dominant audio recording formats throughout much of the 20th century. From the mid-1980s, phonograph use declined sharply because of the rise of the Compact Disc and other digital recording formats. While no longer mass market items, modest numbers of phonographs and phonograph records continue to be produced in the second decade of the 21st century.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DEJNHK - Portable wind-up gramophone record player is displayed on a wooden tabletop in England, United Kingdom. The black suitcase-style machine is shown with its hinged lid open, a record positioned on the turntable and the curved metal tonearm resting over the playing surface. A detachable hand crank projects from the side of the case, while additional records and a brown paper sleeve lie nearby.
This type of mechanical gramophone required no mains electricity. The user wound an internal spring motor using the external handle, placed the needle into the groove and allowed the rotating disc to transmit vibrations through the soundbox. These were acoustically amplified through an internal horn or sound chamber contained inside the portable case. The compact construction made suitcase gramophones suitable for moving between rooms, taking on holidays, using outdoors or providing entertainment at social gatherings.
The disc shown is described as a 78 rpm record. Historic records made for machines of this kind were generally manufactured from a comparatively brittle shellac-based compound rather than the flexible vinyl material associated with later long-playing records. The term vinyl is nevertheless often used informally for older circular records, although shellac record is the more historically accurate description.
Portable gramophones became familiar household entertainment devices during the first half of the twentieth century, before electrically amplified radiograms, record players and modern audio systems became widespread. They allowed recorded songs, orchestral performances, dance music, comedy and spoken-word material to be enjoyed away from concert halls and theatres.
The photograph records the physical and mechanical character of early consumer sound technology, including the winding handle, turntable, needle assembly, chrome tonearm, circular soundbox, record label and protective carrying case. It is suitable for themes involving recorded music history

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BEW1FA - 1916: The birth of Scandalli F.lli
The Scandalli Brothers was born in Camerano in 1916 , when Silvio Scandalli ( 1889 -1977) with his brothers Henry and Albino, began making accordions in a small home workshop, and then sell them in nearby Loreto , place of pilgrimage for many believers. It was in 1923 one of the first sales contracts with which the Scandalli brothers undertook to build 25 barrel organs per year for the Belgian Giuseppe Fieres of Mont-Saint-Amand-lez-Gan . In 1930 the Scandalli Brothersit had grown to open a new factory which had a hundred workers and a production of 10 accordions daily [1] .
Photo of a Scandalli from the first half of the 1900s preserved in the International Accordion Museum of Camerano
In those years when the mechanics of the instrument was in continuous development and renewal, the company's research activity was very important, testified by the numerous projects presented at the Patent Office in Milan : the first, from 1924 , bore the title of Improvement in mechanical key devices to combine several voices in accord in bellows accordions , while in 1932 a system was invented that allowed to dismantle the part of the mechanical control organs of both the bass and the chords [1] . In the following years, then, Silvio Scandalli decided to include a small research and patent department in the company.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59X9K - Lerwick (Old Norse: Leirvik
Norn: Larvik) is the main town and port of the Shetland archipelago, Scotland. Shetland's only burgh, Lerwick had a population of about 7,000 residents in 2010
Centred 123 miles (200 km) off the north coast of the Scottish mainland and on the east coast of the Shetland Mainland, Lerwick lies 211 miles (340 km) north-by-northeast of Aberdeen
222 miles (357 km) west of the similarly sheltered port of Bergen in Norway
and 228 miles (367 km) south east of Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands. One of the UK's coastal weather stations is situated there, with the local climate having small seasonal variation due to the maritime influence. Being located further north than Saint Petersburg and the three mainland Nordic capitals, Lerwick's nights in the middle of summer only get dark twilight and winters have below six hours of complete daylight.
Lerwick is a name with roots in Old Norse and its local descendant, Norn, which was spoken in Shetland until the mid-19th century. The name Lerwick means bay of clay. The corresponding Norwegian name is Leirvik, leir meaning clay and vik meaning bay or inlet. Towns with similar names exist in southwestern Norway (Leirvik, Lervik) and on the Faroe Islands (Leirvík)
Evidence of human settlement in the Lerwick area dates back to the Neolithic (40002500 BC) and the Bronze Age (2500800 BC) known from paleoenvironmental records for human activity and the recovery of artefacts, including a stone axe head submerged in Bressay Sound. Iron Age (800 BC AD 800) settlement is known at the Broch of Clickimin, which was constructed as early as 400 BC. The first settlement to be known as Lerwick was founded in the 17th century as a herring and white fish seaport to trade with the Dutch fishing fleet. This settlement was on the mainland (west) side of Bressay Sound, a natural harbour with south and north entrances between the Shetland mainland and the island of Bressay.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8FBAD - An engine order telegraph or E.O.T., often also called a Chadburn, is a communications device used on a ship (or submarine) for the pilot on the bridge to order engineers in the engine room to power the vessel at a certain desired speed. In early vessels, from the 1800s until about 1950, the device usually consisted of a round dial about nine inches in diameter with a knob at the center attached to one or more handles, and an indicator pointer on the face of the dial. Modern E.O.T.s on vessels which still use them use electronic light and sound signals.
Traditional E.O.T.s required a pilot wanting to change speed to ring the telegraph on the bridge, moving the handle to a different position on the dial. This would ring a bell in the engine room and move their pointer to the position on the dial selected by the bridge. The engineers hear the bell and move their handle to the same position to signal their acknowledgment of the order, and adjust the engine speed accordingly. Such an order is called a bell, for example the order for a ship's maximum speed, flank speed, is called a flank bell.
For urgent orders requiring rapid acceleration, the handle is moved three times so that the engine room bell is rung three times. This is called a cavitate bell because the rapid acceleration of the ship's propeller will cause the water around it to cavitate, causing a lot of noise and wear on the propellers. Such noise is undesirable during conflicts because it can give away a vessel's position.
On most modern vessels the EOT acts as a direct throttle with no intervening engine room personnel.
This one has positions of Full Ahead, Half, Slow, Dead Slow, Stand By, Stop. Astern Finished with engines, dead slow, slow, half and full. German U-boats of World War II contained the dial position Alarmtauchen, the order for a crash dive.
Most seen these days are copies. Most do not include the CL of Chadburn Liverpool which was the place of manufacture, as in this specimen h

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KE64RG - The Ian Curtis mural in Macclesfield
An artwork dedicated to one of Macclesfield's finest musicians has pride of place in the town centre. The mural of Ian Curtis, the iconic former frontman of Joy Division, is a fully funded Cheshire East Council project and has been painted by well-known street artist Akse'. It adorns a building on Mill Street, just across from the bus station.
Ian Curtis singing into a microphone
Ian was brought up in Macclesfield, won a scholarship to King's School in the town and his ashes are buried in Macclesfield Cemetery. He took his own life in 1980.
The commissioning of the mural follows on from Cheshire East Council's approval of the Macclesfield town centre strategic regeneration framework, which the council is continuing to deliver against.
The framework sets out the council's vision for the town centre as a place which celebrates its quirkiness and provides the development sector with the confidence and certainty needed to bring forward investment, jobs and economic growth.
As part of the council funded project, you can watch Macclesfield residents share their thoughts on what the mural brings to their town.
