The meet­ ing came to a close with the Na­ tional Anthem, after which lunch was served by the committee. rw Vicalloy, the metal with a memory, enables you to hear yourself as others hear you! The name of the newly-discov­ ered alloy is made up of the first letters of its constituents — vana­ dium, iron, and cobalt. It was de­ veloped by Bell Telephone Labora­ tories because of its ability to hold more permanent magnetism than any commercial material. Furthermore, it can be rolled in the form of a tape to be used for sound recording, just like a gramophone record, Once vicalloy is magnetized, it stays, magnetized. It has a good “magnetic memory”.' Therefore, it is a fine medium for record­ ing. Because the recording is done by magnetic means, there is none of the mechanical distortion pro­ duced by some gramophones. The machine which uses vical­ loy tape for recording is called the “Mirrophone”, or “Voice Mirror”. Among other uses* it is1’ employed to help telephone opera­ tors acquire the “Voice with a Smile”, By means of the Mirro­ phone, an operator can hear her voice as the subscriber hears it. • To use the Mirrophone, one simply throws a switch marked “Record”, and talks into a micro­ phone for no more than one min­ ute. Behind the microphone is re­ x' Na. 3 of a series r..r__ _ -j —L Bell Telephone Company of volving an endless belt of vicalloy tape. The voice is recorded on this tape by magnetic means. If you have ever seen a motion picture sound track, you will be able to visualize the magnetic pattern formed in the tape by the speak­ er’s voice. To play back the record, the user throws the. switch to the ‘’Repeat” position, and from the loudspeaker comes the original voice, with all its overtones and inflections unimpaired. The speak­ er can sit back and listen to him­ self talk! The record will play over and over again as long as desired. Like women and elephants, vical­ loy never forgets. But, if it is desired to^ record something else, a flick 'of' the switch passes the tape through a magnetic eraser, which wipes off the record, leav­ ing the tape ready for another message. In the Mirrophone, telephone operators can hear their voices just- as they can see then- faces ' in a mirror. They already have an enviable reputation for clear speech and' courteous tones, but now for the first time, they will have an opportunity of. hearing for themselves whether that repu­ tation is deserved, and a means of maintaining the high standard they have set. ies prepared by H. G. Ouien,'~l tone Company of Canada. A HARPLEY Mrs. Mark Miller and Miss Lil­ lian .Hayter of Detroit spent a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Newton Hayter and other friends.
