Dr, A, N, Goldsmith, former Chief Engineer of the Radio Corporation of America, has been granted a patent (No, 2,354,176) for a device to improve acoustics which acts automatically. According to Dr, Goldsmith it has been found possible to change the apparent room acoustics from “dead” to ''very alive” by using this device.
Thus, when a symphony orchestra or a church organ makes a recording in a relatively small room, reverberations can be controlled through this mechanism to give the music depth and sonority. The high¬ speed reverberations made by a dance orchestra in a large auditorium also can be brought under control.
