Beginning as sound waves, mechanical motion is imparted to the diaphragm of the condenser transmitter. This mechanical motion is in turn translated into a minute electric current. After being amplified the power of this current modulates a light to which film is exposed. The resultant latent image is treated chemically and when developed, again modulates a light to produce the positive. After development this positive, when run through a projector, modulates a beam of light, thereby controlling a minute electric current. After amplification the resultant power is sufficient to impart mechanical motion to a loud speaker diaphragm, thereby producing a very close approximation to the original sound. Beginning as sound, fourteen changes of condi
