This is an example of office automation. The introduction of the dictating machine allowed for dictation to be taken without the presence of a stenographer. Also the material could be retrieved whenever the secretary became available as opposed to making her available whenever dictation was needed to be taken. The ability to re-use the cylinders made this a cost effective way of taking dictation, as well as being a convenient one. Brockville Collegiate Institute may have used this machine for either regular office use or to instruct students as to the office methods of the day.

Fonction

For shaving wax cylinders for reuse on Dictaphone machines.

Technique

This is an example of a device that allowed for the re-use of wax recording cylinders by removing previously recorded grooves. Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. The method of sound recording by cutting a groove into a wax cylinder was patented in 1886 by Bell and Tainter.
