CAPTAIN LANDERKING’S
WONDERFUL INVENTION
Captain George Milton Landerking.
formerly an officer of the good ship
Little Delta, and well known along the
Iditarod river, is now a resident of
Fairbanks, where, says the Fairbanks
Citizen, he has perfected an improved
talking machine which reproduces the
human voice, or anything else that any
phonograph does, in much louder ana
more plain sounds than has yet- been
done by any other ii ventor. The loud
ness of the tone depends entirely upon
the pressure applied—the stronger the
pressure the louder the tone. Patent
rights have been applied for. In speak
ing of his invention, Captain Lander
king stated that it. was part of a ma
chine fora "talking moving picture”
mechanism. He said that he is now
certain that he has synchronized the
picture machine and the talking ma
chine, and will he able to put out a
complete machine which will make
"talking movies” a real success.
