It was invented in 1878 by Thomas Edison to use on a cylinder on" The Tin-Foil Phonograph ", which was the first thing used to record a person's voice.
It was used in the first phonographs (invented 1877 by Thomas Edison). I'm assuming that they were invented before 1877. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, tin foil was in common use; aluminium foil largely supplanted it, but some people long continued to call aluminium foil by the name of its tin counterpart (perhaps due to its being shorter to say).
Tinfoil or tin foil is a thin leaf made of tin.
Commonly, it is a misnomer for aluminium foil, as tin foil was commercially available before the aluminium counterpart, and some people continue to refer to the new product by the name of the old one.
Tin foil is stiffer than aluminium foil. It tends to give a slight tin taste to food wrapped in it, which is one major reason it has largely been supplanted by aluminium and other materials for wrapping food.
The first audio recordings on phonograph cylinders were made on tin foil.
