The Bolex Sonorizer was just one of many add-on mag stripe sound systems that were manufactured prior to the development of the first 'proper' 8mm sound projectors. Cirse in Italy had a sound attachment very similar to the Bolex Sonorizer that connected to the top feed spool of any projector. The main problem was that none of these systems had the same picture to sound separation, and even worse the sound was behind the picture! It was not until regular 8mm sound separation was standardized at 56 frames ahead of the picture, that proper 8mm sound projectors really took off. Today, the Bolex Sonorizer and similar units, are essentially useless for film making, although interesting devices.
