TELEVISION WONDER
KING GEORGE INTRIGUED.
ORDERS FOR APPARATUS,
London, Nov. 12.
The King has ordered, television apparatus to be installed in Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace directly the British Broadcasting. Corporation commences televising. This order, says the Sunday Chronicle, followed a secret demonstration of television in Windsor Castle, when the King was amazed by the success of the transmission of a talking film from a studio a considerable distance away. Several times during the demonstration His Majesty leaned forward and murmured in surprise. The Marchese Marconi told a representative of the Sunday Chronicle that he is investigating micro-waves in connection with television, with a view to enabling people to watch newsreels of events as they happen, but the most important development will <be the televising of X-ray photographs so as to enable invalids to obtain treatment by the best specialists in the world. The Marchese said this forecast was not so fantastic as it sounded. The beatings of the human heart had already been broadcast from Italy. “I consider that micro-waves will prove to be ‘the missing link’ in television,” he added.
