I found two You Tube videos on the Pallophotophone,RCA & GE's predecessor of the RCA Photophone system using twelve optical tracks recorded in an endless loop onto unperforated 35mm film. Some of the recordings are on nitrate stock,while the others are on acetate. I was thinking of modifiying a 35mm Steenbeck flatbed editor by replacing the sprockets & sprocket rollers with pressure rollers & capstans & designing a twelve track optical soundhead for the editor to play back & digitally transfer all twelve optical tracks at once. The You Tube links as follows-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUm_mPizQFk
