rapport with others in society is achieved primarily through sound , and westinghouse has designed for us an audio recorder which picks up the message directed at the psychotic individual -- for example , your boy manfred -- then , having recorded this message on iron-oxide tape , replays it almost instantly for him at lower speed , then erases itself and records the next message and so on , with the result that a permanent contact with the outside world , at his own rate of time , is maintained .
