| Titolo: | Dead rooms and live wires : Harvard, Hollywood, and the deconstruction of architectural acoustics, 1900-1930 / Emily Thompson. |
| Abstract: | 'In 1900 Wallace Sabine, a physicist at Harvard University, published a mathematical formula for calculating the reverberation time in a room, a measure of how quickly or slowly sound energy dies away in an enclosed space. In 1930 Carl Eyring, a physicist working in the Sound Motion Picture Studio at Bell Telephone Laboratories, revised Sabine's equation. This essay examines material changes in the practice of architectural acoustics in order to explain how and why Eyring was motivated to reformulate the Sabine equation.' |
