A. Sanabria, youthful Chicego engineer, | who has been able to get unusual detail in a picture containing only*45 lines. | Besides this demonstration, at least | four television companies have displa most of them showing for the first tim: small screen televisors designed for use in the home. For these receivers plans have been made to supply 60-line pic- tures directly in the Garden, so that visitors may have an opportunity to judge for themselves the present quality | of the television picture. Also, there is being conducted a television and radio | set building contest under auspices of | the Boy Scouts of America.

There are midget cceivers without end, some almost small enough to fit into one’s pocket. Among the novelties is a combination Teceiver and electiic fireplace. Because this year is the 100th anni- versary of the discovery of magnetic induction by Michael Farady and Jo seph Henry, there are also on displa replicas of the apparatus they devel oped. It is the booth of the New Yorl useum of Science and Industry. The show, the eighth ar officially opened- this eve spezial broadcest in which David Sar- | noff, president of R. C. speaker.
