  yes, you are no doubt correct, it is some method of "capturing" 
(mechanical) keystrokes, rather than the sound itself. But there is some conceptual 
similarity.

  The English physicist Thomas Young used a tuning fork to subdivide time, 
and he accidentally recorded sound, in 1806!

  Now if we can only "recapture" Eisenmanger himself...
