1922 ad for Verity's invention

... that Claude Hamilton Verity, grandson of Doncaster mayor Charles Verity, was one of the earlier pioneers of synchronisation of sound with silent films (advertisement pictured)?

Source: "Claude Hamilton Verity, an engineer from Leeds, whose work on synchronous sound in the cinema deserves far greater mention that it gets (in histories of British cinema in particular)." This source shows Verity was registering patents for synchronisation of sound and film from 1916 onwards, through the 1920s. Note: Although Wordpress is a blog site, Nick Redfern, PhD is a lecturer on film studies at Leeds Trinity University, and is an authoritative source on the subject of Claude Hamilton Verity. Re grandparentage: Verity was the grandson of Claude Verity via Claude's son Edwin Verity. Various notes and citations in both articles confirm that.

ALT1: ... that navvy Charles Verity, who became a wealthy contractor and mayor of Doncaster, was grandfather of Claude Hamilton Verity an early inventor of synchronous sound with silent films (advertisement pictured)? Source: As above for being grandfather of the inventor. For the rise of Charles Verity, see The Doncaster Review, November 1896
