Despite this previous patent, Glass still receives the credit for the jukebox concept's inception.īy 1891, the United States Patent Office had already registered 18 patents for phonograph coin control devices. In Britain, Charles Adams-Randall, an electrician, filed a patent for the "Automatic Pariophone" in 1888. Though Glass is considered to be the "father" of the jukebox, he and Arnold only filed a patent for the "Coin Actuated Attachment for Phonographs," not a completely functional coin-operated phonograph in 1889.

Although, the original Pre-War model of the music box (then called the "Music-Phone" more resembled a rocket ship.
