Talking Book A New Invention For Future Libraries
A New York correspondent reports on a so called talking book with fibretopes and a camera like reel system. Dr Willis Whitney of General Electric in Schenectady says a practical model may appear in months. The device uses filmed sound waves and a loud speaker to unfold an author’s work with professional readers financing the project. It could be rented or borrowed from libraries and may one day be installed in places like the Forbes School of Arts.
