Waterbury Motion Picture Sound Inventor Bristol Not Found in NewspapersWaterbury-born William Henry Bristol, famed inventor, is not to be found in the old newspapers of the height of his career. Bristol invented the Bristolphone, which synced motion pictures to sound - back in a day when motion pictures were still silent. Bristol also produced at least 1 "silver screen" motion picture - right here in Waterbury. Bristol was an early inductee of the Waterbury Hall of Fame.
