It was one of the first recordings made on Thomas Edison&#8217;s newly invented phonograph, which is composed of a cylinder covered in a small sheet of tinfoil that recorded sound on the foil&#8217;s surface using a stylus. However, the stylus tears the tinfoil after just a few replays. To recreate the sound and preserve the artifact, researchers scanned it and created a 3D model, which was then used to replicate the original recording.&#8221;<\/i><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Technology\/wireStory\/soundtrack-history-1878-edison-audio-unveiled-17558671#.UI62l45qev3\">Soundtrack to History: 1878 Edison Audio Unveiled<\/a>, ABC<br \/>\n<i>&#8220;Haber and his team used optical scanning technology to replicate the action of the phonograph&#8217;s stylus, reading the grooves in the foil and creating a 3D image, which was then analyzed by a computer program that recovered the original recorded sound.&#8221;<\/i><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/lcweb2.loc.gov\/ammem\/edhtml\/edcyldr.html\">The History of the Edison Cylinder Phonograph<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers successfully restore 134 year-old audio recording, The Verge &#8220;Researchers at California&#8217;s Berkeley Lab have restored one of the oldest known audio recordings, a 78 second tinfoil recording from 1878.
