Washington, July 3l-Professor
Tainer, who is associated with Professor
Bell and Dr.. Bell, inventors of the
~graphophone, gave an exhibition of the
practical workings of this wonderful
machine to a few invited guests this
evening. The graphophone is built
upon the principle of Edison's ingenious
toy, the phonograph, but the graphic
phone is to the photograph what the
perfect; telephone is to the speaking
tube.
Imagine a machine about the size of
a diminntive sausage mill having, in
stead of knives, q cylinder of solid brass
about n and q halt inches in diameter
and six inches long, rapidly revolved by
an arrangement OF cogs connected with
d wneeI turned by hand, like a hand
attachment OF q sewing machiDe. Over
this cylinder IS placed q tightly fitting
tube of paratfine. An attachment with
u fine metal point, to which is affixed q
diaphragm and speaking tube, rests
against the polished paraifine surface.
By turning the wheel the cylinder
revolyesS and the metal
point is drawn along the surface, cutting
q groove almost 1mperoeptible to the
eye. While the cylinder is revolving
the operator speaks in q tube, and the
waves of sound against the diaphragm
regulate the pressure of the. point
against the parafine. When through
talking the speaking tnbe or transmitter
10 replaced by an instrument known as
. receiver, and it, being connected
withthe cylinder, produces the lam
guaee originally spoken by the oper-
ator. The words are repeated loud
enough to be heard distinctly
in any part of a small room. The par.
