Several times during the demonstration he leaned forward and murmured in surprise. The' Marc hose Marconi told the Sunday Chronicle that he is investigating micro-waves in connection with television, with a view to enabling people to watch newsreels of events as they happen, but the most important development will be the televising of X-ray photographs so as to enable invalids to obtain treatment by the best specialists in the world. He said that this forecast was not so fantastic as it sounded. The beating of the human heart had already been broadcast from Italy. “I consider that micro-waves will prove to be ‘the missing link’ in television,” he added.
