C\nDear Sir:\n392\nA few weeks ago I watched the President on the screen as he was\nreading a statement from a manuscript. As was the case every other time,\nI became annoyed at the technical deficiencies which were causing a\ndiscord in the otherwise perfect delivery of the speech. Can it be\narranged that the manuscript might be hidden? Is it possible to arrange\nthe reading matter so that the performer should not have to take his\neyes off the focus of public gaze to look at the reading matter, often\nlosing his place in the process and causing an awkward pause? Is it not\npossible to invent a simple contrivance to enable reading in such a way\nthat the public would be under the illusion that the performer was\nlooking at them, not reading at all? You know the psychological effect\nthe latter would have upon the audience.\nThe result of the above contemplations is the enclosed sketch\nof the \"Performing Reader\". This device has two parallel and one\nvertical side. Two rolls are fitted into the lower part. One of the\nrolls has a knob at the extreme end to enable one to manipulate them.\nA half-round reflector and lamp are fastened over the rolls. At the\nlowest end of the Pase a refracting mirror is protruding. At the\nupper parallel side a sighting mirror is fastened on one end. Both\nmirrors turn on their axes. The vertical side is made of/a rod and\ntelescoping tube to permit adjustment of the height of the sighting\nmirror. A clamp is provided at the base to fasten the contrivance\nto a table or a microphone.\nThe unread matter is pushed between the rolls and the\nlight is turned on. The refracting mirror, which is situated in\nthe front of the device, is mirróring the reading matter. The sight\nmirror on top is adjusted to receive the image from the refracting\nmirror. The rolls are fed with the help of the knob and material\nis read from the sighting mirror. The sighting mirror can be less\nthab one-half inch wide, will be slanted after adjustment. If\npainted with a blending color on the outside, it will hardly be seen by\nthe audience, so that the contrivance will give the illusion that the\nperformer is looking at the public, talking from memory, while\nactually he will be reading from the sighting mirror.\nI should like to present the President with a \"Performing\nReader\" as I hope it will help him in delivering speeches in the next\ncampaign, and at the same time it will help to advertise it.
