A third type of phonograph was invented by Emile Berliner; he was granted patent 372,786 for a “Gramophone” using a non-wax disc photo-engraved with a lateral-cut groove; see pictures of the three rival phonographs.
Edison filed an application Nov. 26 for patent 386,974 on an improved phonograph using a battery-powered electrical motor and wax cylinders, but neither he nor the graphophone inventors were able to mass-produce copies.
