At the first hammer blow the sound comes plainly too late. Then the synchronous run improves noticeably, until the sound, in the end, overtakes the picture. The last hammer blow is to be heard a little earlier than to see.

Thus is at least clear that picture and tone run at different speeds. Whether really exist also speed droops, or maybe even offset leaps, is determinable only with certainty when we have corrected the basic speed of the sound.
