WOODEN ORGAN PIPES FITTED WITH OUTLETS FOR MANOMETRIC FLAMES. IN HIS MANOMETRIC FLAME APPARATUS, KOENIG USED A TUBE TO TRANSMIT SOUND TO A MEMBRANE, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF WHICH A GAS SUPPLY FED A JET. VARIATIONS IN SOUND PRESSURE WERE TRANSMITTED TO THE FLAME, WHICH JERKED UP AND DOWN ACCORDING TO THE NATURE OF THE SOUNDS RECEIVED. A CUBE OF MIRRORS WAS POSITIONED NEARBY, TO MAKE THE FLAME SHAPE MORE CLEARLY VISIBLE TO ALL OBSERVERS. (REF. 3) THE PIPES ARE PART OF A SET, PRODUCING TONES RE 3, MI 3, FA 3, SOL 3 (?), LA 3 AND UT 4 (MIDDLE C TO A, AND HIGH C.); PRESUMABLY A COMPLETE SET REPRODUCED THE FULL OCTAVE OF 9 TONES. - Area Notes
