List of devices

A fridge is a short form of the word refrigerator.

A gauge is a device that gives you an exact measure of something. A gauge might tell you how much fuel is left in your car, or how much pressure is in a pipe.

A gramophone, or phonograph, is a device that was used for playing recorded sound from the 1870s through the 1980s. More recently, gramophones were called record players or turntables. Gramophones play records, large round, black platters. The original gramophone did not need electricity to run, with the record being turned by winding it up, and the sound was amplified simply by the shape of the "horn" you can see in the picture at the top of the gramophone. The sound itself comes from the vibrations of a small needle, called a stylus, in a spiral groove on the surface of the record.

A handle is something that is designed for you to hold onto with your hand. Doors have handles so you can open them, and suitcases have handles so you can pick them up easily. Another word for a door handle is a doorknob.

Headphones are something you wear on your ears that let you listen to sound or music, and people around you cannot hear what you are listening to. Headphones come in all shapes and sizes, from large ones like in the picture through to tiny earbuds you can barely see.
