The Rapid Record Oscillograph in Sound Picture Studies

A. M. Curtis, T. E. Shea, C. H. Rumpel

This paper describes a special oscillograph which was designed for making rapid records in sound picture studies. The oscillograph is briefly described, and illustrations are presented of records obtained in making the following studies: microphonic action of vacuum tubes; noise levels in amplifiers; investigations on rectifiers; studies on light valve clash; action of the biasing current of light valves as used in noiseless recording by the variable density method; acoustical studies showing the rise and decay of transients; loud speaker selection with regard to load carrying capacity and mechanical flutter investigations of reproducer sets.
