From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Pho·nau·to·graph n.  Physics An instrument by means of which a sound can be made to produce a visible trace or record of itself.  It consists essentially of a resonant vessel, usually of paraboloidal form, closed at one end by a flexible membrane.  A stylus attached to some point of the membrane records the movements of the latter, as it vibrates, upon a moving cylinder or plate.
