One of Thomas Edison's first applications of his sound recording & playback technology was in the toy industry. This small doll contained the tiny wax cylinder player you see beside her. The cylinder recording was of a woman reciting part of the "Jack Horner" poem. Though the combination worked, there were many problems with the delicate and vulnerable system so the doll was discontinued. Click below to hear a digital recording of the recitation.
