opaque pictures arranged in book
form. They are illuminated by an
incandescent lamp, and the reflect­
ed images are projected through a
lens onto a Screen placed in front
of the sound box. As the reproducer
arm travels, it moves a small lever
to which a cord is attached. The
latter allows a light wire frame­
work to slide downward along the
edges of the book leaves. These
are notched at different heights, the
notch in the first one being the
highest, and as the wire comes op­
posite the notches, each leaf falls
in its proper turn and in perfect
time with the music, disclosing the
