A cache and Dash with History

Cache container relates to the typical view of "Edison"

Thomas Edison held a record 1,093 patents for his inventions, this
series visits a few of the less known inventions he made
Thomas Edison

In 1905 Edison Invented a revolutionary new type of dictating machine, which enabled the dictator to hear repetitions and make paper scale corrections.

A dictation machine is a sound recording device most commonly used to record speech for later playback or to be typed into print.

The name "Dictaphone" is a trademark of the company of the same name, but has also become a common term for all dictation machines, as a genericized trademark.

Sometimes when the general term rather than the specific company is referred to, the variation "dictophone" is used.

The differentiation of office dictation devices from other early phonographs (which commonly had attachments for making one's own recordings) was gradual. The machine marketed by the Edison Records company was trademarked as the "Ediphone".

This Invention led to casette Tapes for recording and eventually to what we use now, digital voice recorders.

Came back today to undo a DNF from September 2017. It was a quick and easy find today, as I'm pretty sure the hint was not there or was totally different when last we were here. We've seen a few of these since, and are used to looking for them now. So glad to have this one done at long last! SL. TFTH
