Abstract: 6727. Downing, A. E. March 19. Kinematograph apparatus.-Films for kinematographs are made to contain the words or music as well as the picture of the actors, scenes, &c. To make the film, a phonograph and a timing- device are provided, intervals of time being punctuated on the record, and the time indicated by the timing-device being photographed on the films, so that the correct words for each scene may be correctly indicated.
