rif. 16966Practical Electrics issue date March 1924. This issue describes Bellin invention of the first ever system to send remote images. This will be a precurcer to Faxes Intenet and Television. The Pianorad is the invention of Mr. Gernsback and was built in the radio news laboratories by Mr. Clyde J. Fitch. This is the first time that a musical instrument has been constructed from radio parts; and it should therefore have more than passing attention from all radio interests. The magazine Practical Electrics March 1924 front cover has an image of Hugo Gernsback known as the Father of Science Fiction' invented and built an early electronic instrument called the Staccatone in 1923 which was later developed into one of the first polyphonic instruments the Pianorad in 1926. The Pianorad has a keyboard like an ordinary piano and there is a radio vacuum tube for each one of the piano keys. Every time a key is depressed there is energized a radio-oscillator circuit which gives rise to a pure flutelike note through the loud-speaker connected to the device. It is possible to connect any number of loud-speakers to the Pianorad if it is desired to flood an auditorium with its tones. It is the first time that a musical instrument has been constructed from radio parts;. unknown books
