Rudell, President of the Vitaphonic Products Corp., New York A new phonograph studio recording machine, electrically operated, and said to be different ( from any such apparatus now on the market, has been developed by Joseph E. Rudell, president of the Vitaphonic Products Corp., New York, in association with prominent engineers. An important feature of the new machine is its adaptability to the manufacture of twenty-fourinch records for motion picture sound apparatus. It is said that the recording may be synchronized w-ith the motion picture film if desired. The machine is now in production and is on demonstration at the executive offices of the Vitaphonic Products Corp., 43 West Sixteenth street, New York. "This studio recording machine embodies a number of brand new ideas," said Mr. Rudell. "Nothing like it has ever been produced before. It is electrically operated throughout. Simplicity in operation is one of its main features, and it is a product of many years of engineering experiment. No gears are used. It works from the center to the outside, as well as from the outside to the center, and makes its own finishing spiral. The recording speed ranges from eighty to thirty revolutions per minute. If rigid recorders are used the machine is so constructed that it may be utilized for both shaving and recording. It is built on the unit principle. For shaving purposes the speed can be increased to 200 revolutions per minute by throwing an electric switch. It is of rigid construction with no vibration, and weighs about 300 pounds. A unique feature of the machine is the apparatus provided for synchronization of records for motion picture films, and the fact that it will record a twenty-four-inch record makes it available for motion picture purposes as well as for ordinary phonograph recordings."
