142 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD Aran, IS, 1920 CRITICS SAY: "Most important improvement in Phonographs during recent years »» PHONOGRAPH manufacturers have long realized the utter inadequacy and deficiency of the present so-called tone modifier, which merely muffles or chokes the sound at entrance to tone chamber. Tonal vibrations are retained within limits of arm, causing excessive vibrations, with their resultant distortion of sound waves, harsh and indistinct tones. NOW THE BLOOD MUTE — Eliminates all the objectionable features of the "choker" device, and makes possible perfect sound reproduction, which can be modified to a softness and clearness that are really remarkable. Retains high tonal quality of BLOOD reproducer. HERE'S WHAT THE "BLOOD" ACCOMPLISHES: Perfect regulation of volume while the record is being played, without in any way changing character of tone. Enables you to build tone chamber flush with motor board and makes possible air-tight tone chamber construction. Eliminates "choker" device and reduces manufacturing costs. Gives you a phonograph of unexcelled tonal quality.
