"I asked him to repeat the words. He answered, 'You said 'Mr. Watson — come here — I want to see you.' We then changed places and I listened at S [the speaker] while Mr. Watson read a few passages from a book into the mouthpiece M. It was certainly the case that articulate sounds proceeded from S. The effect was loud but indistinct and muffled."
