Edison's Laser Disc

Edison "imagined his viewer to be a cylinder the size of his phonograph records, with approximately 42,000 images, each 1/32 of an inch wide."

So, if he hadn't gone with linear strips, we would have had the proto laser disc 50+ years sooner...?

Interesting tech tale, MPPPPPP.

Say, Poppins, about collecting the stories, any idea when you started?
