Description: Shows how the microphone transforms the kinetic energy of air waves into electrical energy; how fluctuations in electric current operate a photographic light valve which registers their fluctuations through a varying light beam upon a sensitized photographic film; and finally how the process is reversed in the reproducing process through the sound film projector. Variable area and variable density sound tracks are explained and demonstrated.
