Charles Cros, a French poet and amateur scientist, is the first person known to have made the conceptual leaps from recording sound as a traced line to the theoretical possibility of reproducing the sound from the tracing and then to a definite method for accomplishing the reproduction.

L ' Académie Charles Cros, the French equivalent of the US Recording Academy, is named in his honor.

Christopher James Chaplin ( born 6 July 1962 in Corsier-sur-Vevey, Switzerland ) is a composer and actor who appeared in the film Total Eclipse as the character Charles Cros, as well as in other roles.

The party is led by Marcel Cros, a former minister under Sekou Touré.

The author of this article called the device a " phonographe ", but Cros himself favored the word " paleophone ", sometimes rendered in French as " voix du passé " ( voice of the past ) but more literally meaning " ancient sound ", which accorded well with his vision of his invention's potential for creating an archive of sound recordings that would be available to listeners in the distant future.

Cros was a poet of meager means, not in a position to pay a machinist to build a working model, and largely content to bequeath his ideas to the public domain free of charge and let others reduce them to practice, but after the earliest reports of Edison's presumably independent invention crossed the Atlantic he had his sealed letter of April 30 opened and read at the December 3, 1877 meeting of the French Academy of Sciences, claiming due scientific credit for priority of conception.

Cros added that a cylindrical form for the receiving apparatus seemed to him to be the most practical, as it allowed for the graphic inscription of the vibrations by means of a very fine-threaded screw.

Cros proposed metal for both engraving tool attached to the diaphragm and receiving material for durability.

His recordings received a First Prize from the Académie Charles Cros ( for Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, " From the New World ") and the Grand Prix du Disque ( for George Enescu ’ s Dixtuor for Winds ).

Dunlop assigned his patent to William Harvey Du Cros, in return for 1, 500 shares in the resultant company and in the end did not make any great fortune by his invention.

Friends came forward with financial help, and with additional invoice financing from Frank Kayser of Kayser, Ellison and Company, and Harvey du Cros of the Dunlop Rubber Company, enabled Austin to buy the site and an additional from Olivieri for £ 7, 500 on the 22nd January 1906.

In 2003 Grimborg was awarded the French " Academie Charles Cros " prize for world music and Gjallarhorn was nominated for the music prize of the Nordic Council of Ministries.

Among his other recordings are those of the complete piano music of Ravel ( for which he was awarded the Grand Prix de l ' Academie Charles Cros and the Grand Prix de l ' Academie du Disque ,) and the Beethoven Violin Sonatas with Zino Francescatti ( of which the Kreutzer Sonata was filmed and has been released on DVD ).

She won the coveted Grand Prix du Disque of the Académie Charles Cros for her recording of the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 with Kurt Masur.

Several patentable methods for producing images ( by either additive or subtractive methods, see below ) were devised from 1862 on by two French inventors ( working independently ), Louis Ducos du Hauron and Charles Cros.

He made many recordings of the French repertoire, receiving a Grand Prix du Disque of the Charles Cros Academy in 1963 for his recording of Ravel's piano works.

Edge was sufficiently impressed to encourage Napier to make his own car, collaborating with Harvey du Cros, his former boss at Dunlop, to form Motor Power Company, based in London, agreeing to buy Napier's entire output.

In 1899, along with Harvey du Cros, Edge formed the Motor Vehicle Company Ltd to sell these improved cars, made by Napiers ( Edge paid ₤ 400, selling at ₤ 500 ), as well as Gladiators and Clément-Panhards, both manufactured in Paris by Adolphe Clément-Bayard.

An account of his invention was published on October 10, 1877, by which date Cros had devised a more direct procedure: the recording stylus could scribe its tracing through a thin coating of acid-resistant material on a metal surface and the surface could then be etched in an acid bath, producing the desired groove without the complication of an intermediate photographic procedure.

No one before M. Charles Cros had thought of reproducing sound by making an apparatus capable of registering and reproducing sounds which had been engraved with a diaphragm.

Cros was a member of the group known as the hydropathes which existed around the period 1878-1881.

They fought the small Battle of Port Cros in which they captured the five forts on the islands from the German Army.

He became closely associated with the burgeoning Breton roots revival, especially after the release of the purely instrumental 1971 album Renaissance of the Celtic Harp, which won one of the most famous awards in France, the prize of the Académie Charles Cros.

In 1990 he bought the vineyard Domaine de Grand Cros, Provence, France which he and his family operate.

Throughout the first decade ( 1890 – 1900 ) of commercial production of the earliest crude disc records, the direct acid-etch method first invented by Cros was used to create the metal master discs, but Cros was not around to claim any credit or to witness the humble beginnings of the eventually rich phonographic library he had foreseen.

Before Cros had a chance to follow up on this idea or attempt to construct a working model, Thomas Alva Edison introduced his first working phonograph in the USA.

In the early 1870s Cros had published with Mallarmé, Villiers and Verlaine in the short-lived weekly Renaissance littéraire et artistique, edited by Emile Blémont.

This was a straightforward additive system and its essential elements had been described by James Clerk Maxwell, Louis Ducos du Hauron and Charles Cros much earlier, but Ives invested years of careful work and ingenuity in refining the methods and materials to optimize color quality, in overcoming problems inherent in the optical systems involved, and in simplifying the apparatus to bring down the cost of producing it commercially.

By mid-April 1877, Charles Cros had realized that a phonautograph recording could be converted back into sound by photoengraving the tracing into a metal surface to create a playable groove, then using a stylus and diaphragm similar to those of the phonautograph to reverse the recording process and recreate the sound.
