PICTURES BY RADIO
PRESS SERVICE INAUGURATED. [By Electric Cable —Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] NEW YORK, April 30. 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 the tabic at a Pilgrim’s Society dinner in London, held on Wednesday night. This was followed by a sketch of Colonel Houghton, the United States Ambassador, drawn by Mr Augustus John. Transmission started at London at midnight, but static and mechanical troubles delayed the reception, which normally should take from twenty to 165 minutes each picture. The dinner photographs showed good likenesses of Lord Reading, the guest of honour, and of Lord Desborough, the toast-master.
