And not represent it as a record of a silent movie. Besides the fact
that no such thing existed in 1908 (how exactly do you synchronize a
hand-cranked camera with a falling-weight recording lathe with a
horn...or a hand-cranked projector with a spring-wind,
governor-regulated playback machine with a horn?), that would imply
blank grooves, wouldn't it?
