William Oscar Orr was a Electrical Engineer,who was a good friend of Thomas Alva Edison. Thomas Edison had given him one of the very first record players that he had invented,and it stayed in the household until 1964 when it was thrown in the TRASH!I remember seeing it when i was a child,BUT what would a thirteen year old boy be thinking of?This is my grandfather,whom i never met as he died before i was born.
