To begin with, the first form of music media goes back all the way to the phonograph which was made by Thomas Edison in 1877. Later the graphophone and gramophone were introduced as innovations of the phonograph. In the western world, someone who would be my grandparents’ age would use the gramophone to listen to classical music, which was popular in that time period. Records for gramophones

The last major technological breakthrough that Frith discusses is the invention of magnetic tape. Magnetic tape was such a huge leap in recording technology, because of the control it now gave artists within the studio. This new tape allowed for artists to splice, dub, cut, and recording multiple track on a tape. This gave artists complete control over their pieces of art. No longer were they restricted by what they could perform live. They could produce pieces of music that had the purpose of not

Not far from Braintree, on the island of Nantucket, is where I grew up. Being a resident of a small island, there was only so much to do and see.

We found ourselves in Braintree, a town much different from what my brother Jake and I had known all of

All of this pressure against the piston forces it down in the cylinder. The power impulse is transmitted down through the piston, through the piston rod (connecting rod), and to the crankshaft. The crankshaft is rotated due to the force. • As the piston reaches the bottom of its travel, the exhaust valve opens. Now, as the piston moves up on the exhaust stroke, it forces the burned gases out of the cylinder through the exhaust port. When the piston reaches the top of its travel, the

Symbolism in The Glass Menagerie Symbolism plays a fundamental part in Tennessee Williams’s play, “The Glass Menagerie”. Examples of the use of symbolism include the fire escape, as an escape from the family, the phonograph, as an escape from reality, the unicorn, as a symbol for Laura's uniqueness and the father’s photograph, representing something different to each character. Through recognition of these symbols, a greater understanding of the play’s theme is achieved. Throughout

the next step the air travels into the combustion chamber (cylinder), where it is mixed with the other components of combustion. Equally important as the air, is the fuel going into the cylinder. Fuel starts off in the gas tank of the car and then gets pumped into the fuel lines by the fuel pump. The fuel goes through the fuel lines and into the fuel rail. Attached to the fuel rail are electronically controlled injectors (one per cylinder), which are controlled by the mass air sensor. The mass
