context_page_description: Joseph Tykociński-Tykociner was a Polish engineer and a pioneer of sound-on-film technology.
  In 1921 he became the first research professor of engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Within a year of his arrival at the University, he conducted the first sound-on-film motion picture recordings at a physics demonstration that showed how pictures and sound could be synchronized to produce a "talkie", a motion picture with sound.
