the audience with

It the British Army had been as
voice conscious 90 years ago as it
is today, the blunder which started
the Charge of the Light Brigade
might not have occurred, according
to R. H, Spencer, of Toronto, special
information representative of the
Bell Telephone Company, who ad
dressed a meeting of Officers and
men of the No. 9 R.C.A.F, Service
Flying Training School at Centralia
last Friday evening (April 14). The
men in our armed forces today are
being taught to speak clearly
distinctly, he said.
Speaking on “Your
Others Hear It.” Mr. f
cribed the mirrophone,
development of Bell
Laboratories in sound
Since it permits a recording to be
made and reproduced immediately,
the mirrophone enables anyone to
listen to his voice just as he would
look at his face in a mirror. After
the address, many in the audience
tried the machine for themselves.
Before describing the mirrophone,
the speaker outlined some of the
problems of transmitting speech
over a telephone line. The energy
of the average voice, he said, is
measured in insect power. It would
take five million people, all talking
at once, to generate enough energy
to light an ordinary incandescent
lamp. When a voice is transmitted
by telephone, it must be amplified,
or it would not be heard by the
person at the other end of the line.
On a telephone call between Halifax
and Vancouver, the voice is ampli
fied 1,000 duodecillion
whatever one followed
is called.
Pointing out that
scientific reason why
know what our voices sound like to
others, Mr. Spencer demonstrated
this by means of lapel and throat
microphones.
It is not the wail that we are
born with which determines how we
talk, he said. It is the adult manipu
lation of that wail by the move

jaws and the use we make of the
