Abstract: 24,563. Madaler, K. von. Oct. 22. Synchronizing phonographs with kinematographs; records. - For synchronizing phonographs with kinematographs, the phonograph sound-record is cut along the edge or edges of the kinematograph film, whereby absolute synchronism for the whole length of the film is obtained. For recording the sounds on the picture film edge, a constantly rotating cutter wheel connected to the recording-diaphragm is used. Fig. 2 shows the reproducing-device, where the film A is unrolling from spool A<1> on to spool A<2>, the kinematograph being situated between the rollers A<3>, A<4>, where the picture film travels intermittently. By allowing the picture film to sag before it arrives at the reproducing-stylus F' and sound-box F carried on an arm G pivoted at G<1> and counterweighted at G<2>, the film record can be made to travel at a constant rate past the stylus. The sound-box F and horn K are mounted within a chamber L on a support M. If both edges of the picture film contain sound-records, then two reproducing sound-boxes are used. For copying a disk record on to the edge of the picture film A, Fig. 5, a platinum wire P secured to a frame O connected with the stylus N is heated electrically and applied to the film A.
