A MAGIC VOICE
PIPE ORGAN SPEAKS. SCIENTIST’S GREAT FEAT. LONDON, November 22. An audience at the Regent Street Polytechnic listened spellbound to Sir Richard Paget’s experiments for mechanical reproduction of the human voice. Sir Richard Paget used bellows, connected to a short length of organ pipe. The mouth of the latter was arranged to represent the vocal chords of the human voice, which the experimenter cleverly manipulated with his fingers, until it imitated varying resonances in the cavities of the human mouth formed by the throat, palate, and tongue. The instrument clearly asked, “Hello, London! Are you there?’’ and other questions.
