INVENTION ANNOUNCED ON THIS DAY

Graphophone | Cinéma, Opéra, Radios

The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison,
Alexander Graham Bell‘s Volta Laboratory made several
improvements in the 1880s and introduced the graphophone,
including the use of wax-coated cardboard cylinders and a
cutting stylus that moved from side to side in a zigzag groove
around the record. In the 1890s,
Emile Berliner initiated the
transition from
phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral
groove running from the periphery to near the center, coining
the term gramophone for disc record players.

SPORTS DRINK INVENTED ON THIS DAY

J. Robert Cade, the Inventor of Gatorade, Dies at 80 - The New York Times
Football player Chip Hinton (Left) trying J. Robert Cade’s invention in 1965.

On October 2, 1965, a team of scientists invented Gatorade,
sports drink to quench thirst, in a University of Florida lab.

The name "Gatorade" is derived from the nickname of the
university’s sports teams. Eventually, the drink becomes
a phenomenon and made its inventors wealthy.

Early in the summer of 1965, University of Florida assistant
football coach Dewayne Douglas met a group of scientists
on campus to determine why many of Florida’s players were
so negatively affected by heat. To replace bodily fluids lost
during physical exertion, Dr. James Robert Cade and his
team of researchers, doctors H. James Free, Dana Shires
and Alex de Quesada, created the now-ubiquitous sports
drink.
