TELEVISION TESTS
SECRETS OF COMPANY. PREMISES TWICE ENTERED. LONDON, Oct. 27. Television, Limited, is at present experimenting with a two-way television to enable conversation to be carried out by wireless, each participant being visible to the other. The company has taken over premises at Long Acre, the whole of t he top floor and the roof giving 700 square feet. > They arc not marketing televisor sets, pending the introduction of improvements which are at present being tested. There is evidence of strong efforts by unknown persons to obtain the company's secrets. The premises have twice been burgled, and the watchman was once plied with drink and his keys stolen. There have been numerous attempts to pump employees, and an armed guard is now maintained day and night. Tests so far show that vision can be reproduced wherever wireless can be picked up with sufficient strength for a loud-spaker.
