E. C. Wente

The principal elements of the sound system for motion pictures are: microphone, amplifiers, recorder, reproducer, and loud speaking receivers. The evolution of these devices began with the invention of the telephone by Bell. In this paper it is shown how subsequent studies relating to the telephone art contributed to their development prior to the advent of commercially successful sound pictures.
