I don’t know anything about most of them but they seem very curious.

For example, I have found a lithography of the first machine that was able of recording sounds visually, called phonautograph. The problem of the machine was that it is not able of playing back recorded sounds. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/27/arts/27soun.html?_r=1.

I have post the phonautograph in first place. If you know something about these items please share it in comments, thank you.
