English: Transcribing dictation from a Dictaphone wax cylinder dictation machine, from the 1920s. The dictation machine is in the foreground. The typist is wearing 'stethoscope' type earphones attached to the machine. Her foot is on a pedal which starts and stops the playback. The white objects under the machine are more wax cylinders. The source text says a speedy dictaphone transcriber could earn $1.00 to $1.25 per hour, much higher than ordinary typists and stenographers. Alterations: removed caption, increased brightness.
