The phonoscope (Nov 1896-Dec 1899)

THE PHONOSCOPE THE ZON-O-PHONE The Latest and Best Talking flachine The Zonophone combines the latest discoveries in the art of reproducing sound by indestructible disc records, and unlike every other talking machine in the world it is manufactured under its own patents, viz. No. 640,3(57 and 640,978 in the United States; patents in Great Britain, France, Germanv and for the remainder of the world have either been granted or are pending. Any dealer or consumer the world over is free to purchase the Zonophone without fear of patent infringement or legal complications. The manufacturers of the Zonophone stand back of their patents and will protect them and thus their patrons. The Zonophone records are also entirely new in the art of sound recording ; they are made by a distinctly new process and are the result of ten years of experimental L-boratory work. They are made in a laboratory exclusively equipped for the purpose. They are more natural, clearer and ■i purer in tone than any other records ever \ made, either disc or cylinder. They are ► \ likewise indestructible. One trial will convince you. Can be used in any country without fear of patent infringement and can ■fc be used on any other style of disc talking^ v- machine on the market. Catalogue on appli cation.

" The acoustic properties are wonderful. The tone has a pure, full ring of immense volume and true as the natural. A small glass horn of 18 in. will reproduce as loudly as a 56 in. brass horn. The new Glass Horn is the ideal horn. The reproduction is loud and natural. The horns are beautiful in appearance, of different colors, various shaped bells. They do not hide the machine, which may be seen through them and are »u ornament to any machine and room. The Glass Horns are made of heavy glass of fiue vibratory qualities ; they do not easily break and stand transportation. They are more easily kept clean than the metal ones, it only being necessary to wash them ; they never become dented or out of shape. They are supported in the usual way by eithei a horn crane or regular horn stand, a crane being preferred. The connection to the speaker or reproducer is by the ordinary rubber horn eonnection.
