PHOIiiOGBAPH amaommm.

To all tvho m it may concern:

Be it known that I, View Bnssrna, a citizen of the United States, residing at New rent city, (Brooklyn,) 3 county of Kings, State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Phonograph Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a phonograph attachment designed to carry the sound from a phonograph to diEEerent parts of a screen upon which moving pictures are simultaneously thrownby a kinetoscope. In this way the apparent source of sound may be 'made to follow the heads of the figures moving over the screen,

so that the sound appears to emanate from such figures and a lifelike illusion of, a moving and talking figure isobtained. 1

In the accompanying drawingi Figure 1 is a perspecthis view ofmy improved phonograph attachment;

' M Fig. 2 a. plan of'the horn; Fig. 3a longitudinal section fthrough one of the tuba; Fig. {an enlarged cross section on line 4-4, Fig. 8, and Fig. 5 a perspective of a modification of the attachment.

- The hornofa phonograph llis divided'at its soimd emitting upper end into a suiiable number of arelthrown'by h The attendant, by

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 20.1907- Bsrisl No. 884.749.

Patented Nov. 12, 1907.

' manipulating the biill and socket joints and the eiescoping tubes, may readily bring bells into alineinent with the faces thrown upon the screen, so that the sound apparently emanates from such faces. The valves 13 serve to control the particular tubes through which the sound is to be conveyed.

In Fig. ,5, the rigid telescoping tubes are replaced by flexible tubes 22 secured at their lower ends to the branches 12 of horn l0 and'carrying at their upper ends bells 23. Tubes 22 may be properly adjusted back of screen 21 by means of hand ropes 24 secured to bells 23. Those ropes pass over pulleys 25 of screen-frame 26and carry rings 27 within reach of the attendant. By slipping these rings over one of a numberof pins 28 on frame 26, adjusted.

I claim:

1. A device of the character described. co p the position of bells 23 may be readily screen, a sound generator, a series of tubes communicating therewith, bells on the tubes, and means for adjust-' of. tubes communicating therewith, bells on the and: ot'

the tubes,- snd means for adjnstably sustainingssid tubes relatively to the screen, substantially ,alspecifled.
