Summary

A kinematograph camera with ears and a projector with a living voice is now nearly perfected by Mr. A. W. Kingston, the clever photographer who is working for British Productions. The film 'The Field of Honour' has been mentioned. Roughly, the mechanism consists of a semi-telephonic attachment to the camera which directs sound vibrations not to the ear but to a sensitive filament lamp, which again reflects in some way a moving beam on to the side of the film as it passes through the gate. The negative therefore shows the photograph in the ordinary way but with a funning diagram of sound curves down the side.
