SUDDEN STOP.
TELEVISION TEST ENDS.
(UN)DRESS REHEARSAL.
Scientific progress took an unforeseen turn one day last month, to the embarrassment of two 8.8.C. research men who were experimenting with infra-red ray television. The engineers were "looking in" at a row of dancing girls who were being televised when, to their astonishment, they noticed that only one of the girls appeared to be clothed. The experiment finished abruptly, and the girls, who were clad in cotton dancing tunics, were told that it could not go on until they dressed themselves in silk. The explanation proved to •be quite imple: The dark dyes in the cotton tunics did not reflect the infra-red rays. These penetrated the loose mesh of the fabric, so that the television projector "saw" through everything. The one girl who appeared to be clothcd was wearing silk. |
