TELEVISION SUCCESS
SCIENTISTS ASTONISHED BRITISH FILM SHOWN. LONDON, September 7. The surprising advance in television was among the subjects discussed by scientists at the British Association’s Conference at Leicester to-day. Scientists were astonished at the successful television exhibited. The new British film, “ I Was a Spy,” was shown, without any flicker, on a nine-inch screen. The latest cathode ray process was employed, by which the film was projected* through a revolving disc, to the photo-electric cell, which changes the light variations to current variations, passing across a telephone line to the cathode ray tube. Mr John Baird, inventor of the televisor, explains that popular transmissions are impossible at present, owing to the difficulty of finding a channel for the transmission of signals. Ultra-short waves appear to he the best solution. The actual receiving and transmitting apparatus is almost perfect.
