U.S. troops of the 1st Division, AEF, train with light artillery piece during World War I

Troops of the First Division, American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) move down a hill with a horse-drawn caisson and small artillery piece, at their training grounds in Gondrecourt, France, during World War 1. In the next scene two gunners crouch behind the shield of a Vickers Q.F. Mark II 40mm Gun. An instructor stands over them and they fire the gun at his command, several times. The hot expended shells drop between the gunners. The assistant gunner loads a new round through the gun breech, for the next firing. Several other soldiers sit in the background observing and presumably awaiting their turn to practice firing the Vickers gun.

At a recognition ceremony in 1928, Thomas Edison operates the first tinfoil phonograph he invented.

Thomas Edison with his original tin foil phonograph (recording and playing device), that was produced in December 1877. Edison stands near a NBC microphone and shows operation of his tinfoil phonograph, also referred to in press of the late 1800s as a Talking Machine. This footage was shot on the occasion of a recognition ceremony for Edison on October 20, 1928, where he was also presented the Congressional Gold Medal by President Calvin Coolidge. This original tinfoil phonograph had been given by Edison in 1880 to a representative of the English Patent Office who visited the Menlo Park lab. The machine had been exhibited in England. It was repatriated for this 1928 event by the South Kensington Museum in London. British diplomat Ronald Ian Campbell, partially visible on the left in this footage, presented the phonograph back to Edison. Today it is on display at the Edison National Historic Site in West Orange, New Jersey.
