Aerials Will Stay
Television technology is increasing at a terrific pace, but the humble aerial will not become a thing of the past. Today’s research is aimed at developing not only more powerful aerials to provide better pictures for present viewers, but to get pictures into areas where none went before. An aerial is the key to television enjoyment well into the future. Television installation could be likeped to that of a car. One is never aware of its individual parts until one of them causes trouble. In television the trouble may not lie wholly with the set but in the aerial which feeds the signal to it—hence the two common irritants, “ghosts” and “snow.” Snow is caused by the electronic noise inherent in every set which comes to the surface only when the transmitted signal is received weakly.
