The first commercially sold disc records were created by [[Emile Berliner]] in the 1880s. Emile Berliner improved the quality of recordings while his manufacturing associate [[Eldridge R. Johnson]], who owned a machine shop in [[Camden, New Jersey]], eventually improved the mechanism of the gramophone with a spring motor and a speed regulating governor, resulting in a sound quality equal to Edison's cylinders. Abandoning Berliner's "Gramophone" trademark for legal reasons in the United States, Johnson's and Berliner's separate companies reorganized in 1901 to form the [[Victor Talking Machine Company]] in Camden, New Jersey, whose products would come to dominate the market for several decades.<ref name="life">{{Cite magazine| title=First It Said 'Mary' | magazine=[[Life (magazine)|LIFE]] | first=Robert | last=Wallace | date=17 November 1952 | pages=87–102 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sFIEAAAAMBAJ }}</ref>

Berliner's Montreal factory, which became the Canadian branch of [[RCA Victor]], still exists. There is a dedicated museum in Montreal for Berliner ([[Musée des ondes Emile Berliner]]).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Centennial of Broadcasting in Canada |website=Canadashistory.ca |url=https://www.canadashistory.ca/awards/governor-general-s-history-awards/award-recipients/2020/centennial-of-broadcasting-in-canada |access-date=1 July 2022}}</ref>
