Hears Molecules I
- I ■■
STOCKHOLM (/P)—'The uneasi
ness of molecules can be listened
to in a “wire-grammaphone” con
structed by an electric firm in
Norrkoeping, Sweden.
The apparatus which was built
1 by the Norwegian-born engineer, j
N. Oeiaas, was shown for the first
time in a radio exhibition.
The purpose of the “wire-gram
mophone,” however is not to listen
to the grumbling molecules but to
j record and reproduce music and
speech. The sounds are recorded
, on a piano-wire which can absorb
two hours of music or four hours
of speech through magnetic influ
' ences.
• A magnet in the neighborhood
of the wire roll causes the mole
cules to turn with a crashing
; sound.
