Valdemar Poulsen’s New
Telegraphone
PEER OF GRAPHOPHONE
Will Record and Reproduce a Speech.
Sermon or Opera Complete.
Tones are Perfect.
Cottage drove citizens had an
opportunity to examine and listen
to demonstrations produced by the
wonderful new machine known as
Poulsen’s Telegraphone, a great
invention which is due to the un
tiring labors of Valdemar Poulsen,
the Edison of Copenhagen, Den
mark. You talk, sing or play an
instrument into this machine and
the same is reproduced in perfect
tones, free from the grating noise
familiar to the graphophone. The
sound is recorded on a small mag
netized wire which passes from one
spool to another and is reproduced
by reversing the spools. The wire
has the wonderful advantage over
the graphophone record in length
and indestructibility, it being very
practical to record a complete
political speech, a sermon, or an
entire evening's theatrical perform
ance, or opera, on this machine.
It is also very practical for a busi
ness man's office, in which the
professional or business man can
dictate his correspondence in a
short time which will keep his
stenographer busy all day in pre
paring. It can also be connected
with the telephone and messages
made in two types, the wire spool
style described above aud the steel
disc type, and instead of the sound
being scratched into the disc as
with a phonograph record, it is
magnetized, "frozen in " as it were
and so there is no “ scratching" or
harshness when the sound comes
out again. It makes no more
physical impression in the steel
than a reflection does in a mirror.
Since there is no indentation, no
special
voice-tricks
must
be
learned to "make a record."
And the steel talks back at the
pressure of a button, once or forty
thousand times, a minute later or
a life-time later. Neither rub nor
rust affects it. You can step on it
or throw it out of the window and
still it will talk back perfectly.
It’s indestructible, but can be re
moved by drawing a special pre
pared magnet across it, when the
same disc in ay be used over and
over again and sent through the
mail for 2 cents postage.
The first machine mentioned
cannot be purchased but can be
rented at $5 per month. The
latter machine sells at from $45 to
$150.
The machine was on display in
the office of Hotel Oregon this week
and its wonderful possibilities set
forth by the demonstrator, H. T.
O ’ Rilly, state representative, with
offices at Portland.
