Abstract
The desire to make a simultaneous record of sounds and actions is not new. As long ago as February 1888, Muybridge conferred with Edison as to the practicability of using the zoöpraxiscope “in association with the phonograph so as to combine and reproduce simultaneously, in the presence of an audience, visible action and audible words.” The phonograph was then less than eleven years old and had not been adapted to reach the ears of a large audience, so the scheme was temporarily abandoned. Although space does not permit a review of the progress of the art since the early days, it is generally agreed now that the ultimate method of sound recording consists in utilizing a narrow strip of the film itself for the sound record. This scheme avoids nearly all opportunity for lack of synchronism between the sound and action and at the same time provides a simple method for the removal of an entire scene when desired.
