CardTalk
CardTalk is an inexpensive cardboard
cardboard creased and folded into a triangle. The base has a nub to hold the record in place. The upper "arm" forms the apex of the triangle and has a needle which is placed upon the record. The record is spun using a small pointed object like a pencil. The cardboard picks up the impressions on the record and vibrates loud enough to be heard causing the "card" to "talk". Several cardboard phonograph playing devices were patented around the same period and these include Jauquet (1953) for a "Pocket Speaking Device", J.S. Wiener's "Sound Emitting Device" (1967) and the "Record Player" of Max Meier-Maletz (1972).[2][3][4]
