Abstract
METAL films are subjected to the passage of electric current and exposed to light, which is interrupted with acoustic frequency by a rotating disc with holes. A thermionic amplifier permits a sound of the same frequency to be heard in a telephone when silver, gold, platinum, and tin are tested: aluminium and zinc give no effect.
