It consists in the application of instantaneous photography to the illustration of sounds…. His idea was that a speaker might be photographed from 8 to 20 times a second during his entire speech, while at the same time the phonograph was recording the spoken address. The phonograph and the mechanism of the camera were so connected that when the reproduction took place, both spoken words and photographic pictures would continue synchronously together, and that when the photographs were thrown on a screen, by means of a stereopticon, the rapid recurrence of the pictures would be such that the effect would be a continuous one, and as the phonograph reproduced the address, the gestures and the facial expression would appear to be that of the living speaker. The experiments were completely successful, and Mr Edison now has in his laboratory, a large number of these dual reproductions. As yet, there does not seem to be any practical commercial value to the invention. Ed, Phoenix
