Sixteen-MM. Sound-on-Film

J. O. Baker

Improvements that have been made in the production and reproduction of sound on 16-mm. film are briefly described, together with some of the problems that have been encountered. The two methods of obtaining sound-on-film, namely, recording and optical reduction printing, are discussed. It is now possible to reduce optically frequencies as high as 9000 cycles on 16-mm. film. Using a practical design of 16-mm. reproducing equipment it is possible to obtain sound from the 16-mm. film of as good quality as the sound that was formerly obtained from the average 35-mm. theater equipment.
