REVENUE REQUIRED. B CLASS STATIONS APPLY. .(UNITED TRE33 ASSOCIATION—BY ELBCTEIO TJLEGRAPH- COPYRIGHT.) SYDNEY, June 22. The attempt by the B class broadcasting stations of Australia to secure a portion of the revenue from listeners' licenses, which is confined to A class stations, has failed, but the agitation is to continue. At least forty-nine additional applications for B class stations have been registered.—Australian Press Association. TELEVISION PROGRESS. Few scientific secrets have been more carefully guarded in the last decade than those relating to the methods adopted in the television systems now undergoing trial. It is evident from the brief reports received from time to time that the problem of television has at last been solved. Efforts to develop a system of television have been made from time to time practically ever since the invention ot the telephone. J)rom the Beginning the general principle to be adopted was clearly understood, ine difficulty experienced lay in the con 7 struction oi apparatus to apply the principle. For the production of an effective "moving" picture about lb successive "fixed" pictures must be produced one after the other every second. If fewei pictures are produced they do not blend together well, and the resulting moving picture is inclined •to be jumpy. For the electrical transmission of a picture the original must be analysed into a series of very small sections which for effective transmission canot be larger than small dots such as make up the illustrations. Each one of these points must be transmitted separately from the sending to the receiving instrument, and at the receiver each section or dot must be placed in its correct position on the receiving screen. The actual transmission of the dot in its correct tone of light presents no difficulty. This can readily be accomplished by a photo, electric cell at the transmitter, which controls the intensity of light from a special lamp at the receiver. The real difficulty of television lies in analysing the picture into many thousands of sections so quickly that the process takes place at least 16 times a second, and then rebuilding it, equally rapidly, at the receiver. The general method adopted by modern workers cousists of the use of a series of rapidly revolving prisms. These prisms are placed between the image and the photo, electric cell, and as they revolve they "sweep" the image in such a. way that one section after another of it is focussed on the photo, electric cell. At the receiver the process is reversed. The light from the lamp is passed on to the series of revolving prisms, which bend it out of its ordinary straight line, and scatter it over a ground glass receiving plate, so that the point of light from the lamp falls on every section of the surface of the plate 16 times a second in the correct intensity to build up an image.
