Twenty arc lights, withreflectors, throw fifty-thousand candle-power of illumination onthe actors. At the proper distance stands the phonograph, with. Fig. 37.

This Phono-graph is electrically connected with the Kinetograph (notKinetoscope, this time), alongside. Now the actors begin, orthe pugilists commence to box. Professor Edison succeeded intaking forty-six photographs each second. Inside a drum, ahighly-sensitized tape of celluloid, perforated at the edges, runs ELECTRICITY. 83 at the rate of twenty miles an hour. But the tape stops stillforty-six times a second, and is at a stand nine-tenths of thetime. As it stops, a shutter opens and the photograph is holes in the tape enable the locking machinery to startand stop the tape properly.
