The 'real Nipper', a mixed breed fox terrier, lived from 1884 until 1895 and was the pet of His Master's Voice artist, Francis Barraud. According to the artist, ' Nipper was really a very clever little dog ' of course one is always inclined to think one's own dog cleverer than those belonging to other people ' but he was most original.'

English illustrator Francis Barraud (1856-1924) and His Masters Voice. 'It is difficult to say how the idea came to me beyond the fact that it suddenly occurred to me that to have my dog listening to the phonograph, with an intelligent and rather puzzled expression would make an excellent subject. We had a phonograph and I often noticed how puzzled he (Nipper) was to make out where the voice came from. It was certainly the happiest thought I ever had.'

Moorestown resident Eldridge Reeves Johnson circa 1890.

In 1896 Eldridge Johnson, who owned a small machine shop in Camden, NJ, was asked to develop a spring motor for a hand-cranked Gramophone. The little instrument was badly designed, he later recalled. It sounded like a partially educated parrot with a sore throat and a cold in its head. But the little wheezy instrument caught my attention and held it fast and hard. He designed a motor that operated at a uniform speed, was affordable and was quiet. This invention, according to Johnson, changed the

Super Nipper !!!

By 1905, Mr. Johnsons firm had sold over 200,000 'Victor' talking machines. But, despite its popularity, the exposed horn 'gramophone' was considered to be unsightly. To overcome that objection, Mr. Johnson found a way to conceal the horn inside fine wood cabinets, and the 'Victrola' was born. This photo, taken in 1907, shows Ernestine Schumann-Heink, a famous contralto, standing beside the Victor Victrola XVI.

Before the invention of microphones and electrical recording, it was necessary to position the performer(s) directly in front of a large horn. Pictured here is an acoustical recording session of the Victor Orchestra in 1916. The first Victor electrical recording session was nine years later, in 1925.

The 'golf ball'. It sat on the site of the 'cornfield cruiser', the AEGIS training ship. It was an early warning radar during the cold war.
It was also used by our 9th grade science teacher for a project where the students supposed it was the size of the sun. The students then had to figure out where and what size the rest of the planets would be. Pluto would have been the size of a marble and located in the parking lot of Ott's Laurel Run Tavern (which is now gone) - Spencer
