RPM is short for “Revolutions Per Minute”. This is how many times the platter will spin completely in one full minute. All vinyl records are designed to play at one of three speeds:
• 33 1/3 RPM
• 45 RPM
• 78 RPM
It was in 1857, that a Parisian printer/typesetter named Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville registered and patented the phonautograph, a barrel-shaped, hand-cranked device used to transcribe sound in wave lines on blackened paper.
To Make a Musical Performance Great
Unlike Thomas Edison, who was dubbed the father of recorded sound for his feat with the telephone nearly two decades later, Leon Scott never intended to reproduce sound but simply to study it.
His idea was to build an artificial ear, audio historian Patrick Feaster explains in an NPR interview. That the artificial ear would record not just the words, like stenography or shorthand, but you get all these special details, anything that made a musical performance, song or speech great.
