PROGRESS IN TELEVISION.
EARLY RECEPTION FORECAST.
The prediction that by the end of next year television should be comparable to the earphone stage of radio is made by Mr. D. Sarnoff, president of the Radio Corporation of America. "By that time," he says, "television' should attain the same degree of development as did radio sound broadcasting in the early period of the crystal set. This does not mean that the actual physical structure of the first television receiver will be similar in any way to the crystal receiver; the similarity will lie in the class and condition of the service; the visions which first come through the air to the public will be of the same embryonic quality as thp first faint sounds which sent mother hurrying to the earphone of the boy's crystal set in the attic. "When television reaches this stage rapid strides may be expected, comparable perhaps with the growth and development of broadcasting of sound. The progress to follow should make possible the projection of moving images on a screen on the wall. Reception of sight by radio then will be comparable to the loudspeaker stage of sound reception."
