both Young and Scott were transmitted to the coated paper wrapped around a
rotating drum through some sort of a stylus arrangement in  both instances.  The
"point" I was trying to make is that Léon Scott de Martinville was superseded by
Thomas Young by almost half a century, and that he should certainly receive some
share of the recognition of that fact, particularly since Young used wax-coated
paper, while Scott's was coated with lamp black.  Moreover, there are quite a
few references on the Internet, if one googles Thomas Young.

However, there are probably about 2,134,322 people named "Thomas Young"
that get Internet references of one sort or another...?!
