The windows are housed in a 75-foot-high tower than was originally built to hide eight tanks that were used to store water for sanitation, drinking, manufacturing and sprinkler systems.	#43 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.'	#44 English illustrator Francis Barraud (1856-1924) and His Master’s 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.'	#45 Mr. Johnson’s employees pose for a group photo in front of the Johnson Machine Shop in Camden, NJ. The picture was taken in 1900. Note the Nipper imitator in the front row.
#46 Moorestown resident Eldridge Reeves Johnson – circa 1890. Born in Wilmington, Delaware in 1867, Mr. Johnson’s inventions unleashed the true potential of the “talking machine” and changed the face of home entertainment forever.

Main Street, near the Northwest corner of Chester Ave.	#55 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
#56 Super Nipper !!!	#57 By 1905, Mr. Johnson’s 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.	#58 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.	#59 Everyone Loves Nipper !!!	#60 The Moorestown Community House at 16 E. Main Street
