TELEVISION PROGRESS
Each afternoon and at the close of each evening’s programme pictures are being put over the air by RAY AG (Australia) as a regular feature of its transmissions. The Fultograph method is being used, and the tests have been very successful. First the time is given. Next the receiver is given two minutes to prepare his set. a warning signal (the Morse letter “V” . . . —, four times repeated), and then comes a pause of 10 seconds for final adjustments. Then follows the picture, which takes about four minutes and a-half to produce, and finally the Morse letter “S” (. . .) to show that the picture is finished.
A correspondent from the Waikato district states that the Australian stations are roaring in there with a quality of tone that makes them more popular than the New Zealand stations. But he states that IYA, Auckland, has shown a decided improvement, while 2YA, Wellington, though subject to fading, is fairly satisfactory.
