TELEVISION DEVICE
CLEARER PICTURE IMPROVEMENT PATENTED WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. A new television machine designed to produce clearer motion pictures and to send them secretly on short radio waves has been patented in the United States, it was disclosed to-day. The new device, termed a “fundamental improvement" in television by officials, was invented by Mr. Francois C. P. Henroteau, of Ottawa, Ont., who previously has been granted three other American patents on television developments. The heart of the Henroteau apparatus is a screen, similar to the white screen in a motion picture thcatie, on which the television pictures are Cast by light. , , Its surface, however, is made up ot millions of tiny photo-electric cells, which convert light rays into elec-trical-impulses. Screens with as many as 16,000,000 individual cells to the square inch, each of which is insulated from all others, have been made, Mr. Henroteau said in his patent application, and even finer screens can be made. .
