Kinetophone Sound Film System, 1913:
The Kinetophone attempted to synchronize recorded sound with motion pictures. A projector at the back of the theater was connected by pulley to a phonograph at the front with operators communicating by intercom, but it proved too complicated for most theater owners to operate. Components include: (1) Kinetoscope (the projector), (2) Kinetophonograph and horn (the phonograph), (3) Kinetophone accessories (the telephone intercom and other parts). |
