If you remember that the term “cutting a record” actually meant cutting a record, it’s easy to understand why those first “tonearms” were transverse: Whether for a cylinder or a disc, they were the easiest way to do what was necessary – first, to actually cut a track in the medium, and then to play it back.
Starting in the late 1880s disc records – the format we are now more familiar with, became available and, after 1912, dominant, and with them came the possibility of the “radial” tonearm which, instead of moving the cartridge across the record in a line, maintaining a constant angle to the groove, tracked it in an arc, from a single pivot point. The first, that came-in with the very first cylindrical recordings – whether on foil or, later, wax or other materials – was “transverse”, meaning, in this case, “across the record, at a constant angle”.

Historically, two approaches have been taken to the problem of how to hold the cartridge so that the “needle” (Nowadays, we call it the “stylus”) will be properly positioned to either cut or play back a record.

I ended Part 11 of this series of articles about phonograph records and the equipment for playing them by bringing up the tonearm and how it affects not only the playing, but also the actual cutting of records…
