Impossible tJive Way in
c": J This Wonder Age
" Of Miracles 1 '
By HARRY E. GATES.
Mechanically, thia ia the ponder age. The same can
be said commercially.' Yet with all. of our Inventions and
new discoveries, with all of our commercial progress we
are only on the borderland of still greater scientific and
mechanical miracles. ?
A mechanical age is not possible without the commer
cial. Genius turns its thinking into the channels of de
mand. Genius developed the phonograph from a scrap
ing, squawking noise, made by a recording upon tin foil
to the electric inaohln that brings the program of the
world's talent into the ordinary homes of civilization.
Commercial demand makes it possible.
But the-entrance of radio ' Into
this competitive field caused genius,
to the main, to expend lti grey
gsatter open the derelofrnent of the
radio, neglecting the phonograph.
However, a few In the Inventive
Una rM visions ol further posslbll
ltles for the. phonograph. The dic
taphone was developed, amplifying,
used In radio, was adapted to. the
phonograph and the phonograph
came back In the home, a recording
machine combined with the radio.
Radio, will always be popular, so
we thought or the phonograph
They are both here to stay, but are
In their Infancy. Not imperfection,
but Infancy. We wonder at the
renditions of both.
: Recording Phonograph.
People like to be heard. ' That Is
why the neighbor objects to the pi
ano next door. He cannot play It.
CHve'hlm a saxophone to blow and
he will be over alongside of the
next door piano. For the same
reason, the seat warmers in church
who are given nothing to do, tiro of
listening and eventually drop out.
With the recording phonograph the
listener can be the performer.
Keep on Improving his toy and he
will keep his Interest.
Among ilio new possibilities de
veloping for the recording phono
graph are talking books and maga
zines, with an amateur talent able
to anaka their owa.
Eventually our books will both act
and speak- - ,
Long Talking Bccord. ..,
All that Is needed to make talking
books possible. Is a long recording
and talking record. Ths tauue
movie has produced that.
Dr. C. H. Howlett, engineer of the
General Electric company is respon
sible for a talkie film, good for two
hours of talking, and it could be
made longer if there is need for It.
A talkie film carries a complete
play the length of the ; average
book. '-:
But this film is from another
field of operation, and its operat
ing principle altogether different
from that of a phonograph recora.
The film Is made In a continuous
tape. As It, passes through the ma.
chine, in recording, a. microphone
reception causes the needle to
scratch a lagged line on the film.
Through this scratched line light
passes, . elcctrlcically reproducing
the sound. This principle could be
used in the phonograph and maybe
comparative coats will determine
which process win be utilized In the
making of talking books.
Dr. Howlette's 400 foot film Is so
small that It can be carried In the
pocket. Its cost would not be much
In mass production. The two dollar
talking book Is a possibility. How
about the five and ten cent maga
zine? The film must approach pa
per cost to make it possible. Ex.
oerments with some of our trans
parent wropperi might produce a
cheaper film. Tlw film process
must compete with the present
phonographic recording nrocess.
which roulri use paper coated with a
hard, flexible wax or varnish for Its
recordings. '
. Another Method,
Dr. &tlllo, a German scientist, has
developed a process of recording
which may revolutionise the phon.
ograpfy Industry. In a steel wire,
no thicker than the ordinary white
twine string Is stored the" recordlnf
by. a magnetic wave process. If this
process is used for the making or.
recording books and magazines.
your book or magazine would look
like a small spool or wire, unis
process may also take the place of
the film in the talkie-movie, a
would, perhaps, be the cheaper and
better- . . . . ' :
For the recordings stored in this
wire never wear out, canjbe used as
often as desired and can be chang
ed. Any undesirable portion can be
omitted without the cutting and
splicing necessary -with 'the "film.
There Is little danger of thC'-wlre
breaking as the film often does. No
fire dangert etc. - Then again the
wire la easily reusable for a new re.
cording. By- simply changing the
voltage used the wire is cleared of
the old recording and ready, tor a
new one. "'--"
StUlfr Process. '
The ooerator talks into a micro-'
phone and the steel records it:- Thli
recording is permanent;" Years
from now that steel wire will repeat
your program. 1 And it: Is released
at any desired speed. This process
is not in the experimental stage. It
Is used for long - telephone talks
should vou have a half hour mes
sage for a friend dver long distance
telephone, you should be charfett
for onlv five minutes- -The steel
records your message at your rate
of speaking. It Is released at close
to a thousand words per minute
The receiving device at the other-
end stores It for the recipient and
he can listen to it as slowly as he
ohoosos. The sending time on an
hour message Is only ten minutes.
By this method, applied to mess
production, hundreds of thousands
of wires can take the same program
at identically the same time, and li.
your magazine -or - book Just- ,a
small piece of wire Is mailed to you.
You place It in your mnemopnon--not
phonograph and listen de
Ughtedly to talented artists deliv
ering your favorlto story.
And you can have your own mag
netised wires In you own record
ing mnemopbone, for your own httnc
talent. "
YC, tnere wul be advertising In
the talkie-movie magazines. - Borne
of it may be disappointing, of
COUJE3. For example, Just when the
hero is about to k.ss the heroine,
she may thrust him aside In horror,
exclaiming: "Brush your teeth,
twice daily, before trying to kiss
me." Or Just when you expect the
life guard to rush to the d-owning
flapper's rescue, Instead he may
throw -her a cake of soap, shouting
the words, '"it floats.' ""
Radio Television.' -Radio
television may do all that
we see in the possibilities for the
scientific methods 'Just ' described;
but by which ever route they come,
one thlngls-'certalnl they will come
as -the'- outlook ' forecasts- - Wait.
But while you wait, enjoy your pres
ent " model - phonograph and radio,
for television and these coming
wonders' may be -long In making
their appearance. Television is an
accomplished- achievement. The
hindrance- is the cost and may be
for years to come- .' i
Au for the mnattiophone, produc
tion has been confined to Its adap
tation to telephonic uses. No known
effort to produce machines for the
homes has-been announced.

-.: : .1!k of Discoveries.
Just recently, In Schenectady; N.
Y.,- hoard of directors met. The
lights went out ' and a television
screen lit up. The chairman of the
meeting, lire size, appeared on tne
screen, called 'the meeting to order
and addressed the board, smiling
and gesturing Just as though he
stood before them in person.
He was three inlles away.
Then a radio tslvesion' play was
performed In a Schenectady thea
tre. Television Is ready for the
stage with perfect performance re
production , -. Including ' voice or
sounds, .
But this Is not all. Those who can
afford the, price will and are hav
ing It placed, in the home. Next
comes the reduction of cost. Then
what will we see In transformation
of business methods? The larger
firms will begin the Installation of
radio television, of course- Chicago
will be in New York and, New York
in Chicago carrying on conferences.
With both sending and receiving
sets Installed. ' The New York brok
er and the- Chicago broker will sim
ultaneously' say "good morning,"
bowing and smiling at each other.
Whole boards will meet with part in
San Francisco. Dart in Chicago and
part In New York. A San Fran
cisco member asks the chairman
seated ln-JewXork for the floor.
With a smiling nnrl t.h chairman
acciulesces,. and thus the meeting
will be conducted. The meeting
adlourned. with a snap of the
switch, each member is back home
Now take 'the Industrial plant.
With telev'slon Installed the work
men will be- under constant obser
vation. " The superintendent can
take a television trip through any
Dart of the plant without the
knowledze of .employes.
There will bo no loafers fooling
bosses then. Each man will get
credit for wtti ie do. Television
pictures may be made continuously,
of every department. When an ac
cident occurs the film win do ad
mitted as evidence w court to show
Just how it happened. Or the enw4
ployment department can use the.
films to determine what ir.cn to re-'
lain on the payroll.-- . - : '
i - Television Combined., :
The Chicago' police department
gets the New York police depart
ment on the television screen. -
"Let us see your prisoners tills
morning?" ' asks the chtsf of Chi
cago police. Slowiy each cell in the '
New York police department ap
pears on tlie Chicago screen.
"That's him I That's him!" eager
ly exclaims a witness in the Chicago
station.
"Bring pr.soner number nine out
and let me question him," asks the
Chicago police. '
The mnemophone r-. or recording
phonograph sets questions and M
swers down as evldenco while the
television camera makes a film of
the prisoner 'answering.
In like manner business will file
records of interviews instead of fil
ing letters. And when the Installa
tion has reached homes, none of
our friends or relatives will be far
off. We can visit the home of a
distant relative or friend, see and
talk with them while they see and ,
talk wtih us in our home and Dresto'
we are both back home at will.
These are not wild dreams. These
are accomplishments alreadj
achieved waiting only for cost re
duction or mass demand for their
use. '.' :''';
Now for the Speculative- "' .
After this Is developed further
will tlw next stop be ability to see;
everywhere, anywhere and also to
listen In? II so, there would be no
privacy. That which la done in se
cret would be declared from the
housetop. - You say "Impossible."
They said "impossible." when flying
was mentioned. They said "Impos
