As early as 1907, a cathode ray receiver was shown by the Russian, Borls Ros- ing, and in 1911 Campbell-Swinton of England gave to the world an early. idea of the cathode ray camera tube. Special Camera Tube Turning to the modern art, we find the heart of the television camera is this special c tube.

High fidelity iq Fe duction demands the irene of high frequenciss up to yal Television engineers knowing they need channels 600 times as bread as those used for-sound brogqoasting, | 40 decided that transmission must take place .on. ultra-high . frequencies far above the present broadcast band, which has for its highest limit 1600 kilocycles. Experimental television has been going on for.the past six years on frajuencies of 42,000 te 86,- 000 kilocy des or, as it is simpler to say, 42 to 86 megacycles. This was done to permit the transmission of the wide side bands necessary for high definition pictures. Limited to Optics! Horizen Tf, when television errives, we are going to have televj -teceivers in ite on this new ultra-high rea ee band, we are naturally interested in knowing something of these very short waves resembling light waves. The effective range of an ultra-high frequency transmitter is limited to the optical horizon. That means thet if.¢ 200 foot antenna tower is senstructed, on can see 9 distance of 17 miles, then the, satisfactory service range would be about this distance.

With th ten na connected, we will turn on the switch and see what happens. Will Be Sim On one side of the Fecelver are Buenos Aires Caracas Cartagena Eindhoven Geneva Guayaquil three central knobs for sound—for tuning, for tone control, for volume. Tuning is no different from that of your radio. Ot ‘the opposite side of the’ television cabinet are three con- trol knobs for the pictures. They are for tuning ‘control, for back-ground control and for gain control. You ture to the frequency of the desired station, turn the background control to a place where the television screen 4s fairly. brightly illuminated and then increase the gain control until picture of good contrast is received. ‘What do we see? Possibly the head and shoulders of the announcer tell- ing us about the program to be given. This is followed by the ‘picture of en orchestra playing the latest dance hit. At the proper moment theré drift into the picture two dancers, |. who sway across the television stage to the rythm of the music. “You like these dancéers—you wish that they would return—but the show moves on. The next number tiay be a motion picture film, because motion pictures] p, ace very clearly transmitted by tele- Vision. At the end of a bries.news- reel, you are switched over to an out- door scene, perhaps a golf lesson by 8 famous pro, whose every movement can be followed by the camera’s eye. “Wealth of Material” There is & wealth of m: pec await- ing the television cami con- sidering such programs, aie not forget the effect that this new mésth- od of communication will have upon education, advertising, art and enter- tainment. In Germany, commercial television was announced by the German post- office many months ago. However less. than @ hundred receivers are be- eved to be in use and none are be- ing sold. One transmitter, at Witzle- ben, is operating. Other active com- panies ate Telefunken, Fernseh, Lor- @nze, To-La-De and Philips. Repro- duction of the Olympic games by tele- vision, with elaborate portable equip- ment was not entirely’ successful. I is difficult to get information because the German vito department has tak- en over television and it is said thal engineers are more interested in it in connection with aviation than with entertainment. The 180-line standard was lately changed to 375 lines inter- Javed. British engineers got the Alexan- dria Palace transmitters in operation for London's yearly radio show,. the Radio- Olympics, Regular experi- mental are on the air’ two hours @ day. Picture aweus on Qs m ycles, are scenes from es outdoors. Reports of the of this million “gdventure” of the British roadcasting company can be called saletyatory. To be forced, however, to dagign television receivers for the two types of transmission sed in Great Britain, instead of a single standard © planned for the United tates, appears to us to be a: costly || tory. proceedure. Prac: tioally @l] fear sre in black and white. Wy few of the receiver manu- facturers.are really quoting price and delivery on receivers; the prices range from $500 to $600. Tests for 11 Yeary Philco in Philadelphia have been making tests for the last 11 months; 345 lines interlaced are used to produce high definition pictures at distances of 10 miles from the trans mitter. At present the tests have been temporarily discontinued, while tapeceees equipment is being in- errors Television, Inc. of Chéstnut Hill, Pa., have been await- ing a license for their stations.

A few other experl+ meters, using low-definition systems are operating. The next major step ta be taken by these active workeys in the field will be the conversion of their transmit- ters to radiate 441-Jine\signals in ac- cordénce with the recently adopted RMA television standards.
