RADIO PICTURE SERVICE
TRANSMISSION ACROSS ATLANTIC.
(United Press Association. —Copyright.) (Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) NEW YORK, 30th April.
The Radio Corporation of America and the Marconi Wireless Company' of England inaugurated a commercial radio picture service to-night, the first photograph, sent to the "New York Times," being of speakers at a table at the Pilgrims' Society dinner in London, held on Wednesday night, followed by a sketch of Mr. Houghton, the United States Ambassador, drawn by Mr. Augustus John. The transmission was started at London at midnight, but static and mechanical troubles delayed the reception, which normally should take 20 to 165 minutes per picture. The dinner photographs showed good likenesses of Lord Reading, the guest of honour, and of. Lord Desborough, the toast master.
