How were the phonograph and the gramophone different?

A The phonograph recorded on disks, and the gramophone recorded on tinfoil.
B The phonograph recorded on records, and the gramophone recorded on wax.
C The phonograph recorded on tinfoil, and the gramophone recorded on disks.
D The phonograph recorded on wax, and the gramophone recorded on record

Answer: C is the best choice here.

But the choices are a bit oversimplified.

D could also be correct. The gramophone recorded on what we (who used them during the last part of the 20th century) called "records."

Explanation: Depending on where you get your information, you may get different explanations of the history of these recording devices.

Edison's original 1870 invention of a record player used a foil cylinder to record sounds. He later used wax cylinders. These are on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

Around 1886, Emile Berliner began development of the Gramophone which used used flat discs for recording. The discs were originally made of shellac, later of vinyl. These are what became commonly known as records. Since the 1940's the gramophone has been called a record player, especially since electrical turntables and amplifiers replaces the earlier wind-up, spring driven turntables and mechanical-acoustical sound cones.

Absolutely no one expected it to happen. They painstakingly planned so it absolutely wouldn't-couldn't happen. But here they were, less than five hundred feet from the moon, and just about plumb out of fuel.

The Bundle of Sticks by Aesop A certain man had several Sons who were always quarrelling with one another, and, try as he might, he could not get them to live together in harmony. So he determined to convince them of their folly by the following means. Bidding them fetch a bundle of sticks, he invited each in turn to break it across his knee. All tried and all failed: and then he undid the bundle, and handed them the sticks one by one, when they had no difficulty at all in breaking them. "There, my boys," said he, "united you will be more than a match for your enemies: but if you quarrel and separate, your weakness will put you at the mercy of those who attack you."

The Moment
John Malone

I heard there were whales lunging out of the water
At Henley South.
“Sleek and smooth as peach slices,”
One eyewitness said.
Whales!
I finished what I was doing and went down
For a look,
But the sea was flat and empty.
There were only a pair of cyclists on the other side
Doing up their clips
And a pelican among the gulls gazing wistfully at a spot
Where something might have been.
No sun was out. The sky was whale-gray.
I had missed the moment
