This article is incorrect. Graphophone cylinders used a "Hill and Dale" system (Vertical Cut grooves), and not "zig-zag".

Article is correct as it states that hill and dale was never deployed commercially. 109.156.49.202 (talk) 18:40, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The following sequence seems to have a chronological error. "In the early 1890s Lippincott fell victim to the unit's mechanical problems and also to resistance from stenographers, resulting in the company's bankruptcy.[3] This would postpone the popularity of the Graphophone until 1889 when Louis Glass, manager of the Pacific Phonograph Company would popularize it again through the promotion of nickel-in-the-slot 'entertainment' cylinders." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.9.77.118 (talk) 22:30, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
