How was a recording made? To make a recording, or rather an attempt at a recording, the cylinder needed to be turned. The drawing pin stylus was placed onto the wax so that it pushed in about 0.5 to 1 mm (0.02 - 0.04 in.). The handle was turned at an even rate and we shouted into the horn. Then we re-adjusted the drawing pin in the wax and used the last half to have a go at recording under slightly different conditions, hoping that one of these two recordings would have worked.
