The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-04-02

One of the most interesting recent
developments of electrotechnics is the
process invented by n. S. Amstutz, of
Cleveland, Ohio, for automatically
making a half-tone reproduction of a
photograph at distant place, says
the Literary Digest. This process was
invented about three years ago, but it
has been greatly improved, as may be
seen by the illustration. Fig. is a
portrait of the Inventor, reproduced
from the ordinary half-tone process.
Fig. is the same after Geographic
transmission to distant point. Fig.
3 is the transmitted portrait as made
three years ago. The improvement is
evident and the process has almost
reached the stage where it will be
available in daily journalism. Nelson
w. Perry gives the following descrip-
ton of the development of the new
invention:
"Alexander Graham Bell found that
by varying the strength of an electric
current in cOnSOnanc9 with sound
waves he could transmit articuiate
speech nearly to the ends of the earth.
edison, TaintOr, and Bell found
that by causing stylus attached to
the center of diaphragm to which
words were spoken to pear lightly
upon revolving wax cylinder they
could engrave upon that wax and pre-
serve for all time the characteristics
of those words. The undulating
graved line in the soft matriX became
the mechanical facsimile of articulate
speech, which required merely a re-
versal of the process to reproduce the
original sound waves. If the dia-
phragm stylus were allowed to trip
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-04-02

over the undulatory graved line it
would give out spoken words. IF it
were caused to vary the strength of
an electric current, those undulations
might be reproduced in sound at a
distant point in telephone receiver,
or, by causing this current to actuate
an electromagnetic device, a dupli-
cate engraved record could be made
to utter again the original words.
"The photograph Inscription il the
mechanical record of sounds. Can we
make mechanical record of light in
all its various gradations ? Certainly,
and quite as simply.
"Many substances undergo changes
of solubiity which are proportional to
the intensity of the light to which
they are exposed. One such substance
is ordinary gelatin in which is dis
solved little bichromate of potas-
stun. This, when exposed to the ac-
ton of light, becomes insOluble in
warm water, whereas before such eX-
posture it will be dissolved away. If,
therefore, we expose such plate be-
meath a Photographic negative, those
portions which are exposed to the
strong light will become totally in
soluble; those that are entirely shield
ed will remain soluble; and those
affected by the subdued light-the
half tOnes-will have their solubility
affected in proportion to the amount
