Compressed air gramophones were gramophones which employed compressed air and a pneumatic amplifier to amplify the recorded sound. One of the earliest versions was the Auxetophone, designed by the British engineer Sir Charles Parsons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1906 Victor Auxetophone )〕 It was capable of producing sufficient volume to broadcast public music performances from the top of the Blackpool Tower, and was said to be loud enough to cause people to vacate the front rows of seats in an auditorium.〔http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/COMMS/auxetophone/auxetoph.htm "The Auxetophone & Other Compressed-Air Gramophones" Retrieved 19 June 2012〕 A was realised by using a sensitive valve, which required little force to operate, to modulate the flow of a stream of compressed air. The basic principle of the valves used in these devices was to pass the stream of compressed air through two partially overlapping combs. The sound vibrations to be amplified were applied to one of the combs, causing it to move laterally in relation to the other comb, varying the degree of overlap and so altering the flow of compressed air in sympathy with the sound vibrations.〔 The , designed for large halls, was a compressed air gramophone which employed compressed air to amplify the recorded sound.〔Wierzbicki (2009), p. 74; "Representative Kinematograph Shows" (1907).(The Auxetophone and Other Compressed-Air Gramophones ) explains pneumatic amplification and includes several detailed photographs of Gaumont's Elgéphone, which was apparently a slightly later and more elaborate version of the Chronomégaphone.〕 It was used by Gaumont for the presentation of some of their early sound films. The was an early compressed air gramophone designed by the British engineer Sir Charles Parsons. The Auxetophone was sold in the United States as the Victor Auxetophone.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1906 Victor Auxetophone )〕 Other compressed-air gramophones included the Chronomégaphone and the Elgéphone.〔Wierzbicki (2009), p. 74; "Representative Kinematograph Shows" (1907).(The Auxetophone and Other Compressed-Air Gramophones ) explains pneumatic amplification and includes several detailed photographs of Gaumont's Elgéphone, which was apparently a slightly later and more elaborate version of the Chronomégaphone.〕〔 (in German)〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Compressed air gramophone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
