Other Info:		 In early 1896, Berliner contracted with Eldridge Johnson to develop an improved spring motor for a gramophone. Johnson turned to machinist Levi Montross to help him manufacture a spring-motor gramophone for the Berliner company, and they filled the first order of 200 machines that Berliner requested by Aug. 10 at $4 each wholesale. Montross received patent 598,529 for his design. (Eldridge Johnson in the next year designed a simple and inexpensive motor that became the standard for the next few years [patent 601,198]). The motor, if you look at it, was ahead of its time, and was a style that was later imitated by many other manufacturers. Johnson however was looking for a more cheap, economical motor & developed his minimalistic version that became the backbone of early Berliner & Victor successes.
