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.

1948 VARIABLE-AREA RECORDING 517 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The writer wishes to express his appreciation to Dr. V. Pagliarulo for his assistance in obtaining the analytic solution for distortion induced by azimuth deviation of the scanning beam, and to Mr. L. B. Browder for his invaluable help in obtaining basic information used in many of the figures. REFERENCES (1) E. C. Wente and R. Biddulph, "A light valve for the stereophonic soundfilm system," J. Soc.

APPENDIX Referring to Fig. 12 for the off-azimuth scanning of the unilateral sound track, the instantaneous amplitude of the light transmitted by the unilateral modulation5 as scanned in the figure is given by Y = a0 + a0 sin (x + «) (26) where a0 = the amplitude of the wave x = the distance from the origin X = the wavelength of the sound wave u = the reflection of the scanning line S along the x axis, and r = the deviation of the scanning beam.
