Sound tracks such as now border motion picture films, are imposed on a revolving glass disc. A series of shutters, connected with a keyboard, covers the maze of tracks. When a key is depressed its shutter opens, allows a beam of light to pass through the disc, shine on a photoelectric cell. The light is transformed into an electric impulse, the impulse into sound. Working on this purely electrical principle the fineness of tone division becomes limited only by the ability of the human ear to perceive...
