Gaumont Chronochrome Process Described by the Inventor
Léon Gaumont · Journal of the SMPTE · 1959
Editorial Note: A paper found among the effects of Leon Gaumont after his death in 1946 describes his early attempts to sychronize sound and image and discusses apparatus which he invented, such as the Chronophonograph and the Elgephone. As a tribute to this inventor, whose name is on the Honor Roll of the Society, and for the interest it may hold for contemporary scientists and inventors, the Historical and Museum Committee has contributed the following translation. Special assistance was given by L. J. J. Didiee of Paris in connection with the obtaining and preparing of this paper.
