History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927 But sound films,

or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings From the earliest public performances

in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures – called 'synchronized sound' – began soon after the very first films were shown With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as sound‘ system The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could be come unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of

the projector changed This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence

In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be

read by an optical sensor These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing

synchronization nor feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922 This system eventually brought us 'talking pictures'

Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours There are two very

different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks, have become flat in what might be called the obvious way Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great "wings" They look as though they have been flattened but have remained

symmetrical and " the right way up" Conversely, fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become fiat in

a different way There are bony fish which have a marked tendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much " taller" than they are wide They use their whole, vertically flattened bodies as swimming

surfaces, which undulate through the water as they move Therefore, when their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their bellies However, this raises the problem that one eye was

always looking down into the sand and was effectively useless – In evolution this problem was solved by

the lower eye " moving" around the other side We see this process of moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish It starts life swimming near the surface, and is symmetrical and vertically flattened, but then the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted fashion, so that one eye, for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards, an old Picasso-like vision Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on the left, and others on either side
