Abstract: Vitaphone is a trade name applied to one method of making and reproducing sound motion pictures. By sound motion pictures we mean the reproduction of scenes in proper timed relation with the reproduction of the natural sounds accompanying the scene or with other sounds designed to produce a desired effect. The sounds may be spoken words, vocal or instrumental music or some form of noise, such as the roar of a passing train, the crash of real or artificial thunder, the squeak of a wheel, the buzz of a bee or a saw, or in fact any air vibration which the ear recognizes. The reproduction of scenes in proper timed relation with the sound naturally involves the recording of both scene and sound in such a way that the proper time relation may be maintained during reproduction.
