Born in Hanover, he emigrated to America in 1870 to escape the oppression of Prussia, living in New York and Washington, D.C., and changing jobs frequently while devoting his life to inventing. In 1877 he invented the contact resistance type transmitter (microphone, patented in 1895), and in 1878 the induction coil transformer, and in the same year served as equipment supervisor for Bell Corporation. In 1887 he invented the phonograph (later the gramophone). He also invented a lightweight engine for aircraft (1908), and under his guidance his son, Henry A. Berliner, designed the helicopter (1919). Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
