Hello, Shai,
That is true, but I don't think Jack Mullin's machines were the
Tonschreiber model and were lacking the oscillator and amplifier, but
also, I do not believe them to be true Hysteresis-Synchronous motors, either.
The point here is that if Tonschreibers were used (or the circuitry
associated with them was put into a studio recorder) then George's
discussion of mains frequency would need another footnote.
Cheers,
Richard
