It could run at any speed from I think 9 to 130 cm/sec. 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.
