Inventor: ROSENBERG AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1911-10-25
Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 23,620. Rosenberg, A. Oct. 25. Synchronizing phonographs with kinematographs; simultaneous records, obtaining.- Sounds and movements are recorded upon and reproduced simultaneously from one film, or from two films running synchronously side by side and driven from one source of power by sprocket-wheels, the sounds being transmitted from the stage by microphones so arranged that the total of sounds reproduced is constant, but mostly appears to come from those parts of the stage upon which the speaking actors are situated. The microphones H', H<2> are situated on the stage A to receive the sounds, and communicate by wires and batteries h<1>, h<2> with photophones P', P<2> whereby the sounds are recorded by light passing through the selenium cells P<1>, P<2> side by side upon the record film J. The movements are recorded upon the picture film E through the camera C as usual. The picture and sound films are mounted respectively upon rollers F, G and L, M and are driven by sprocket drums D and N respectively. These drums D, N are mounted upon the same driving- shaft O, the drum N being three times the diameter of the drum D, as the sound-film J has to travel at three times the speed of the picture film E. The films are correspondingly numbered so that damaged parts can be replaced. When adjusting the camera lens C along the film as is sometimes necessary, the sound-reproducers P', P<2> must be correspondingly adjusted. This is accomplished by racks q<1>, q<2> attached respectively to the camera C and sound-reproducers P', P<2>, and a fixed crossshaft Q having gear-wheels Q<1>, Q<2> of diameters proportional to those of the drums D, N. A thumb - nut R and gear - wheel r operate the racks and thus adjust the reproducers P', P<2> three times as far as the camera C.
