This article is not clear[edit]
So were these still pictures or moving pictures? And the article says that they were "broadcast" which implies either radio transmission or television transmission. That seems unlikely in 1917, let alone 1907. So is "broadcast" really what was meant? -- Derek Ross | Talk 17:23, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- Phonoscene is the software (film and disc or cylinder), Chronophone is the hardware (projector, gramophone). You were right. Phonoscène were projected and "heard" not broadcasted.--Gozor136 (talk) 21:42, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for fixing the "broadcast" point. However that still leaves one major point of mystery. I understand that Phonoscène was the software and that Chronophone was the hardware. But what I still do not understand is whether the images projected were "still pictures" or "moving pictures". -- Derek Ross | Talk 23:19, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

- Okay, I suppose that "cinematograph" implies that these were moving pictures. Let's get that in the article. -- Derek Ross | Talk 17:40, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, Gozor and SSilvers. The article is much clearer now. Cheers -- Derek Ross | Talk 23:43, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
