It must be borne in mind that in this and similar graphical representations of tone quality only the ordinates have a meaning, the lines joining the summits of these ordinates being merely a means of showing that these ordinates belong to the same tone, in a way to appeal easily to the eye.

Page 21 - Scripture' studied enlarged phonograph records. Dayton Miller4 has recently used an improved oscillograph method. As has been said, none of these methods has as yet furnished quantitative results, and they can hardly be expected to do so unless greatly improved in the future. The use of resonators by Helmholtz and Koenig depends on the human ear in one case and on manometric flames in the second, and either can only give qualitative results.

There is also in many cases the complication introduced by the membrane or other parts of the recording device having free periods of their own. So the first step of this work was to look for a better method of analysis.
