(Phys.org)—Workers at the Museum of London have successfully restored 24 of 26 wax cylinders used by a man in the early 1900's to record family get-togethers and private holidays. The recordings are believed to be the oldest ever found to have captured audio of Christmas and other holiday celebrations.
