K' New RCA Light Cell Picks Up Sound from Movie Filmtrack A new small light-sensitive cell for use in sound motion picture projectors and electronic computers has been marketed by the RCA Electron Tube Division, Harrison, New Jersey. The cell (RCA7224) weighs one gram, is about the size of an eraser on a pencil. Here's how the photojunction cell can be used for sound pickup from movie film: when the projector is in operation, a beam of light passes through the film's sound track. This beam strikes the tiny cell, which converts the varying amounts of light into corresponding variations in electrical current. Electrical output from the photojunction cell is then "piped" into an audio system that reproduces the sound. Spectral response of the 7224 ranges from about 3,500 to 19,000 angstroms, with maximum response at about 15,000 angstroms. 9 Canadian Kodak Expands 'f Construction of a new twostory building by Canadian Kodak Co..
