This was the first ever mixer with crossfader. The Gaumont Chronophone.
In 1910, the French engineer Leon Gaumont demonstrated his sound-and-film synchronizing Chronophone system at the Gaumant Palace in Paris, France. Gaument’s Chronophone had two gramophone platters, between which a deft operator could switch back and forth.

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
Rows of motorised measuring tapes record the amount of time that visitors stay in the installation. As a computerised tracking system detects the presence of a person, the closest measuring tape starts to project upwards. When the tape reaches around 3m high it crashes and recoils back.
