Edison had a recording device in the late 1870s, but I think there is a french recording that is earlier than that

As Hukent has arrived I will bring my Q to an end
The first recorded voice was in 1860
Parisian inventor Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville created a device called a phonautograph, which etched visual sound waves onto paper covered in soot and smoke from a burning oil lamp. The inventor never intended to playback the recording, but one-and-a-half centuries later, the etchings have been deciphered and digitised.

May be an easy one to pass the baton on.

Frogs have had a tough time in my garden pond with the wintry weather but at last, yesterday frogspawn appeared (rather late).
The spawn will turn into Frog tadpoles hopefully but what is the equivalent of spawn from a Toad?
