Robin’s Story

July 14, 2015 by Robyn Haggard

Name: Robin

Age: 64

Occupation: Architect

From: Wendover

Object: Sound/light transmitter/receiver

Story: I set up a light beam connected to a tape recorder and has a lens and phototransistor on the other end of the school laboratory. Everyone was fascinated that sound could be transmitted on a beam of light and that interrupting the beam of light made sounds. Opto electronics in 1967! I should have gone into science not architecture!
