Abstract: The author presents an evocation of the most important steps in the development in Europe of sound-recording techniques suitable for recording on film. It is interesting to note that, in many ways, the evolution of experiments in sound-recording techniques ran parallel to that in the United States. On the other hand, in some areas, radically different routes were traveled. An interesting example of highly original inventive thinking was the hot-cathode microphone, called Kathodophone. It is also noteworthy that the Kerr cell, which in the United States was not believed to be useful for sound recording, was in routine, practical use in the German motion-picture industry for many years before, finally, the mirror-galvanometer won out over it in Europe too as the most practical light modulator. Glimpses of the origins of magnetic recording are also given. Altogether, the paper contains good information, complementary to the development of sound recording in the United States.
