Emil Berliner

Emil Berliner was the first inventor to introduce the flat disc similar to the vinyl records we are acquainted with today. He also put into practice the use of electroforming to make negatives of the master disc, which could be served as moulds to make further master copies - the principle is still being applied today!

He was accredited with the invention of the gramophone player. Clearly he was an inventor and scientist that admonished great insight and creative ingenuity for others to follow on through to today's technology........ More on Emil Berliner in the History of Vinyl - Part 5
