Schlesinger of the University of Chicago, Dr Harvey Fletcher of Bell telephone laboratories, and Dr Donald MacKenzie of Electrical research products inc. "The phenomenon of hearing and the modification of sound between the source and the hearer are emphasized in this film. The specific elements explained or demonstrated are velocity of sound, re- fraction, range of hearing, lowering in- tensity, attenuation in air, eliminating high and low frequencies, reverberation and focussing of sound. Extensive use is made of animation and sound effects. The film concludes by indicating advances in communication which have resulted from combining our knowledge of sound and of electricity."

Schlesinger of the University of Chicago, Dr Harvey Fletcher of Bell telephone laboratories, and Dr Donald Mac- Kenzie of Electrical research products inc. "Demonstrates and explains several types of sound sources. The transmission of sound waves through the air is . . . visu- alized. The characteristics of sound waves, such as frequency, amplitude, wave length, fundamentals, harmonics, are . . . ex- plained visually with acoustic accompani- ment. The highspeed camera, animation, sound effects, and an oscilloscope are used to clarify these phenomena of sound."
