Apparently they also weighed a ton. I think they each had a small scale phonograph inside.

Yes, a rather poorly engineered little thing:


The contraptions used a soft brown wax record which was played with steel stylus. I understand that the ecords were only intelligible for a dozen or two plays. Even so, the records could not be easily interchanged without taking the thing to pieces, besides which replacement records were never offered.
