Quotes by Albert Glinsky (?)

“Theremin’s mentor, Soviet physicist Abram Ioffe, was reporting to Stalin with information leeched from the Manhattan Project, espionage that helped the Russians birth their own atomic bomb by 1949—an effort Theremin was likely involved in. Bob had no clue that Theremin had concocted elaborate bugging devices to spy on Western powers, or that he was still working for the other side in the Cold War, deeply entrenched in Soviet intelligence organizations”

“Tone Synthesizer’ Amazes Scientists.” The Times explained that the machine, “built about five years ago but kept secret during the war, has an almost infinite number of tones . . . so that not only every kind of tone ever produced (including the human voice) can be reproduced accurately by measurement but also millions of tones that no present musical instrument is able to make.”16”

“A player sitting at the Telharmonium’s master console with its touch-sensitive keyboards could trigger the device’s network of whirling rotors, generating electrical currents that corresponded to the notes being played. The currents were sent through telephone wires to “broadcast” the music to hotels, restaurants, and private homes as a subscription service. The sound quality was limited because amplification and electrically driven dynamic loudspeakers hadn’t been invented yet. The Telharmonium’s music was piped through what were essentially telephone receivers acoustically boosted with large megaphone horns—some as long as six feet—or channeled through carbon arc lamps that could oscillate with the electronic signal.”
