Onlyone experiment, undertaken in 1881, can b e considered the source o f this scene: "A major development . . . has been the introduction of stereophonic broadcasting. Like many other scientific devel- opments it suddenly became popular after spasmodic attempts dating back to the nineteenth century. As long ago as 188I arrangements were made at the Paris opera, using ten microphones, to convey the program in stereo by line to an exhi- bition at the Palace of Industry. This demonstration showed that 'audience per- spective' can lend a touch of magic to systems of quite modest performance" (Pawley 1972, 43 2).

192-94: "Thus the credit for recognizing the importance o f the question, for the first successful attempts and its solution, and for the first brilliant demonstration of how armoured command ought to operate belongs essentially to two men: Heinz Guderian-himself, not accidentally, an ex-signals officer who entered World War I as a lieutenant in charge of a wireless station-and General Fritz [sic] Fellgiebel, commanding officer, Signals Service, German Wehrmacht during most of the Nazi era. Between them these men developed the principles of radio- command that, in somewhat modified and technically infinitely more complex form, are still very much in use today. . . . The critical importance of command in armoured warfare cannot be exaggerated and is equalled only by the lack of sys- tematic attention paid to it by military historians. "
211. Briggs 1965, 362-63. According to Pawley (1972, 387), the Allied cap- ture of the army radio station in Luxembourg yielded only tapes but no equip- ment. Only following V-day Europe did the BBC receive six magnetophones for- merly belonging to the German navy.

In 1946, a team of audio engineers from America and England, including Abbey Road's Berth Jones, visited Berlin to study the developments in magnetic recording which had taken place in Germany during the war. They found amongst the military equipment that had been captured, a system of monitoring using magnetic tapes

which the German command had used in an effort to break codes. The informa- tion gathered from this equipment enabled EMI to manufacture tape and tape recorders, resulting in the production of the famous BTR series which remained in use at Abbey Road for over 25 years. " Ironically, the acronym BTR stood for British Tape Recorders. And the Beatles encoded secret messages using machines the Army High Command had developed for decoding secret transmissions.

We are missing something when we don't hear anything; the awkward feeling upon exposure to continuous silence has even led to the thought of assuming a quality of sensation particular to silence, corresponding to the positive perception of blackness in the realm of vision.

For example, II,OOO Dervish, 28 British, and 20 other soldiers were killed during the 1898 battle of Omdurman, in which Lord Kitch- ener had used six Maxim guns (ibid. , 87. ) In the imperial poetry of Hilaire Bel- loc: '''Whatever happens, we have got / The Maxim Gun, and they have not''' (quoted in ibid. , 94). From all this Junger has the following to say about the films of Chaplin ( 193 2, 129): "In essence, they contain a rediscovery of laughter as a mark of terrible and primitive hostility [against obsolete individuality], and the screenings, which take place in centers of civilization, inside safe, warm, and well- lighted rooms, may well be compared to skirmishes in which tribes equipped with bows and arrows are fired upon with machine guns.

As a troop officer, Junger as always was responsible for disseminating orders coming from the Army High Command: Film "would be an admirable means of enhancing the modern battlefields. To turn away from this theme or to veil it is already a sign of inward weakness. Gigantic films with a wealth of resources spent upon them, and shown nightly to millions during the only hours of the day they can call their own, would have an invalu- able influence. Moral and aesthetic compunction has no place here. The film is a problem of power and to be valued as such. The direct interests of the state are in- volved, and they necessarily go far beyond a negative interference by censorship. "

For example, II,OOO Dervish, 28 British, and 20 other soldiers were killed during the 1898 battle of Omdurman, in which Lord Kitch- ener had used six Maxim guns (ibid. , 87. ) In the imperial poetry of Hilaire Bel- loc: '''Whatever happens, we have got / The Maxim Gun, and they have not''' (quoted in ibid. , 94). From all this Junger has the following to say about the films of Chaplin ( 193 2, 129): "In essence, they contain a rediscovery of laughter as a mark of terrible and primitive hostility [against obsolete individuality], and the screenings, which take place in centers of civilization, inside safe, warm, and well- lighted rooms, may well be compared to skirmishes in which tribes equipped with bows and arrows are fired upon with machine guns.

This analytic legacy has been handed down intact-it brought the tech- nicians at Peenemunde to peer at the Askania films of Rocket flights, frame by frame, LlX by Lly, flightless themselves . . . film and calculus, both pornographies of flight.

As a troop officer, Junger as always was responsible for disseminating orders coming from the Army High Command: Film "would be an admirable means of enhancing the modern battlefields. To turn away from this theme or to veil it is already a sign of inward weakness. Gigantic films with a wealth of resources spent upon them, and shown nightly to millions during the only hours of the day they can call their own, would have an invalu- able influence. Moral and aesthetic compunction has no place here. The film is a problem of power and to be valued as such. The direct interests of the state are in- volved, and they necessarily go far beyond a negative interference by censorship. "

travels through the microphone it becomes more acute, while its living immediacy dwindles. What do we mean by acuteness? If one studies the technological repro- duction of speech in film, for example, the muscular action of the mouth is pre- sented much more acutely than we would observe in real life. "
