of woman's voice. The method by which
Mr. Schroeder has regulated the dia-
phragm to a womans voice, hitherto
considered impossible. is very simple.
Near the base of the horn which conveys
the voice into the machine is valve OPP
Grated by an air bulb connected with it
by a small hose. The bulb is held in the
singers hand and when she reaches par
ticular!y high notes in her song she
presses the bulb, which opens the valve.
allowing part of the volume of sound to
escape. Thus the excessive vibration of
the diaphragm is reduced and the needle
properly records the tones. That the
voice may not be interrupted by the
piana, a separate horn with the opening
close to the back of the plano conveys
the accompaniment to the recording ma
chine.
