a tubular arm comprising at one end a reading head, itself composed of a needle, similar to a sewing needle, and a diaphragm, which can rotate and follow the movement of the head on the disc;
an amplification device, most often conical in shape, or located under the turntable, for phono-suitcases. The most common of these devices is a decorated sheet metal pavilion, a rectangular mouthpiece for suitcases.

Founded in the United States in 1888 by a New Jersey-born lawyer, Edward Easton, and building on the legacy of the American Graphophone Company, itself the successor to the Volta Graphophone Company, the Columbia Phonograph Company takes its name from the District of Columbia where its headquarters are located.
Having become one of the country's leading gramophone brands in terms of sound recording and broadcasting, Columbia expanded its catalog by recording the biggest stars of the New York Metropolitan Opera such as Lillian Nordica and Antonio Scotti.
During the 1950s and 1960s Columbia, notably carried by a very popular country catalog, is one of the largest labels of music in the world, even if its reluctance vis-à-vis rock makes it fail to sign a contract with a certain Elvis Presley ...
The label is then carried by great artists of different styles: the country singer Johnny Cash, the jazzman Miles Davies or the conductor Leonard Bernstein. Continuing its diversification Columbia will sign pop funk and rock artists such as Janis Joplin, Simon & Garfunkel and Bob Dylan and establish its worldwide notoriety for decades to come.

Bought in 1988 by Sony at the beginning of the CD era, Columbia remains today one of Sony Music's premium labels, with a catalog of a hundred artists including some huge stars such as Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Adèle or the group AC / DC.
