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.
