: r BROADCASTING PICTURES. | Professor Branly, whose name as the discoverer of -the coherer must always be in I dissolubly associated with the dawn ; of wireless telegraphy,, has just made ; an [interesting '. statement. ,; ; In r his opinion there is nothing inherently -absurd in the i expectation that it will' soon ; be possible to broadcast the complete programme of any moving picture ; theatre. Ever Bines the. day when ' another ; French sav -ant, M. Edouard Belin, succeeded in■■ single photographs over / an i "ordinary telegraph wire, the \ transmission of ,a' series of photographs, in ; other words, of <■'&, moving picture record or : play, has. meant nothing more than an. extension of- the same ■ principle, /"All that is required," as M. Branly: puts it,; "is to itcheme'out the mechanical apparatus necessary: for the purpose." If such; transmission, he adds, can- be: effected * by the telegraph or the telephone wire, ; there can be nothing to prevent its being done equally well by means of the Hertzian waves. It would thus appear to be ! no vain dream that in the .near,; future every telephone subscriber will; be ; able to see ; in his \ own home,/whenever the mood prompts him, a picture show simul-' taneously with the audience in a theatre hundreds, possibly oven : thousanda, of miles distant. */ ~ . /:///.// : -/-■</: )U-M : £2;£'---l£'%

RIM AND TYRE STANDARDISATION ■ For many years it has been a great disadvantage to ; traders and 'motorists alike that there -sere so many unnecessary sizes of rims arid; tyres in use, rendering quick supply of replacements a matter of some difficulty. / /Tyre:manufacturers disclaim responsibility in .this matter, , since«[■ it is necessary for them to follow ' the/ trend of car design, and even at this moment there is a marked tendency to reduce the diameter of: wheels and increase' their sections. For, example,; wheels for ,; ; 90 mm. section tyres used to be quit* commonly made for a cover of I 910 1 mrrei ' diameter.■ Then 810 by 90 became mora common,, and finally. 710 by 90 ;> 916 by 105- gave;place to .815 by 105, and it would cot, be surprising if car manufacturers 1 did not press V for a : tyre of 710 by 105 within the very early future. However, negotiations between ■tyre' manufacturers, /; chassis ii: manufacturers, and rim ) makers on | the subject of standardisation aro, / states ; i the J Autocar, approaching |a '; satisfactory I conclusion',': and it ''hoped that'soon millimetre :or European ;! sizes ;of - tyres/ will: / be / reduced as far as; new equipment is concerted - to perhaps six or. eight auitabla awgfci
