Abstract

360,898. Optical sound-reproducing apparatus. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London, COCKE, K. J. R., 46, Dale Street, and EADE, S. R., 14, Laughton Road, Paddox Delivery, both in Rugby. Aug. 11, 1930, No. 24047. [Class 40 (ii).] Means for eliminating hum when the light source in optical sound-reproducing apparatus is fed with alternating current, comprises an auxiliary light - sensitive cell which is connected in circuit so that the current impulses therefrom are in opposition to those from the main cell. A beam of light from the source 1 is directed by an optical system 2 on to the film 3 and thence to a light-sensitive cell 4. Light from the source 1 also falls on an auxiliary light-sensitive cell 5 through an adjustable shutter 6. The cells 4, 5 are connected in opposition as shown in Fig. 2, in which 8, 9 are output impedances and 10 the leads to the amplifier. In an alternative arrangement, the auxiliary cell may receive light from a separate lamp the light from which fluctuates in phase with that of the sound-reproducing lamp. In a further modification, an optical system may be used to cause the light falling on the auxiliary cell to pass through the sound track as a wide beam, so that it is unaffected by the modulation of the sound track but is proportional to the mean density of the sound track, to make the hum-neutralizing means independent of the mean density of the sound track.
