We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
If Dear Sir : Since reading the many new uses to which the Phono- graph is being put, a case came to my notice a few weeks ago that may open a still wider field. An elderly gentle- man called on an Edison dealer and asked to hear some of the Moulded Records ; having in mind the purchase of an outfit. The gentleman was rather deaf and insisted on hearing the various pieces through the ear tubes ; which he did much to his delight and satisfaction. In about three days he again called on the dealer and stated that he had not been able to hear a watch tick for over twenty years; but after listening to the loud clear toned Edison Moulded Records, it so improved his hearing that he could hear a watch tick perfectly. Here is food for thought and chance for experiment by the Ear specialists. The gentle- man is thoroughly reliable and his name could be given if necessary. Very truly yours, C. M. Lockwood. f In this issue there is listed an original composition of Mr. Liberati's, entitled 44 The Four-and-one-half-octave schottische,** in which Mr. Liberati distinguishes himself by a seemingly impossible performance and as a cornetist without a peer. By special arrangement with the com- poser I also publish a reproduction of the original manu- script. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. This short sentence contains every letter of the alphabet and only five unnecessary ones. Not a single consonant is repeated. The five extra characters are i i o o u . Who can g>ve me a shorter sentence of a similar kind ?
