Emile Berliner – the jew falsely credited with inventing the microphone – (1) is also credited with several other inventions including the gramophone/phonograph.
For example, ‘MNews’ claims that:
‘Emile Berliner – Microphone, gramophone, helicopter
Emile Berliner is the man who gave the world several inventions at once: a microphone, a gramophone, and a helicopter.’ (2)
This is also supported by ‘Boulder Jewish News’. (3)
As with the microphone this is complete nonsense but based once again on a grain of truth.
What is the truth?
The first gramophone was invented on 25th March 1857 by Frenchman Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville in Paris which he called the ‘Phonautograph’. (4)
Similarly, Frenchman Émile-Hortensius-Charles Cros came up with the theory and the idea behind the Phonograph sometime before 1877 and deposited a summary of his ideas at the Academy of Sciences in Paris. He called it the ‘Paleophone’. (5)
Cros was independently beaten to the bunch of creating a working phonograph/gramophone by the famous American inventor Thomas Edison on 15th January 1878, but which had been invented by 21st November 1877 (6) and which Edison had successfully patented on 19th February 1878 as US patent number 200,521. (7)
What Emile Berliner ‘invented’ was a modified version of Edison’s phonograph which he called ‘Gramophone’ in 1887 and began to sell in 1895. (8)
So, while Emile Berliner ‘invented’ the term ‘Gramophone’; he didn’t actually invent the ‘Gramophone’ but rather Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, Émile-Hortensius-Charles Cros and/or Thomas Edison did!
This is yet another example of jews using a small nugget of fact to try and make a much larger (and incorrect) claim of priority over inventions that simply weren’t invented by them.
