3 Lioret, Henri Jules
[br]b. 26 July 1848 Moret-sur-Loing, Seine-et-Marne, France d. 1938[br]French clockmaker, developer of sound recording and reproducing equipment, and inventor of a celluloid cylinder.[br]His first connection with the phonograph principle was in the development of a miniature talking doll with a spring motor and interchangeable and indestructible celluloid cylinders in 1893 for the firm Emile Jumeau. He went on to develop commercial recording and reproducing equipment for celluloid cylinders, perfecting the process of embossing a piece of heated celluloid tube and supporting it by shrinking it onto a piece of metal tube. His training as a clockmaker enabled him to construct a functional clockwork phonograph at a time when other companies struggled with the conversion from manual or electrical to clockwork. He was unable to compete with cheap mass production and left the phonograph field in 1911. However, he continued in other acoustic fields, including moving pictures with sound and underwater sound ranging.[br]Bibliography18 May 1893, French patent no. 230,177.Further ReadingO.Read and W.L.Welch, 1959, From Tin Foil to Stereo, Indianapolis: Howard W.Sams, pp. 94–5.GB-N -

Here are some examples of fleuves in France: la Garonne, la Loire, la Seine, le Rhin, le Rhône and la Somme: other fleuves include: le Nil, le Danube, le Gange, le Tage, l’Indus, l’Amazone, le Congo, le Mississippi, le Niger and le Saint-Laurent.The following French rivers are rivières: la Marne, l’Oise, l’Allier, la Dordogne, la Saône.As in English, French uses the definite article with names of rivers:the Thames= la Tamiseto go down the Rhine= descendre le Rhinto live near the Seine= habiter près de la Seinethe course of the Danube= le cours du DanubeIn English you can say the X, the X river or the river X. In French it is always le X (or la X):the river Thames= la Tamisethe Potomac river= le PotomacWhen the name of the river is used as an adjective, French has de + definite article:Seine barges= les péniches de la Seinea Rhine castle= un château des bords du Rhinthe Rhine estuary= l’estuaire du Rhin
