Sound Recording with Bell & Howell Equipment IN THE process of developing the silent Bell & Howell Camera for sound recording purposes and the Sound Printer, the B. & H. Engineering Research Laboratories soon reached the point where the technical demands of a rapidly changing industry required larger quarters, more extensive equipment, and increased personnel. The new B. & H. Engineering Development Building was quickly designed and built. Manned by A. S. Howell and a staff of veteran engineers, the Laboratories are today working far into the future, creating new ideas and new designs in cinemachinery for tomorrow. But, extensive as these researches are, the industry's problems of the moment remain the chief concern of these Laboratories. In sound development, particularly, the interests of producers and exhibitors are being served. Consultation on any phase of sound recording and reproducing is invited, and information about B. & H. silent cameras and equipment will gladly be given upon request. B. & H.
