SIGHT BY WIRELESS.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE FUTURE. It is the opinion of leading wireless and scientific experts that one of the next great developments of wire* less will be in the fascinating field of television. In support of this view, and to encourage British inventors, Wireless Review is offering a prize of £SOO to fhe British subject who invents apparatus which in the opinion of competent judges best demonstrates the practical possibilities of wireless television. For purposes of this important contest, wireless television is defined as:—
“The visualising of distant objects
which cannot otherwise be seen, the images of which are transmitted and rendered visible through the medium of ether waves; that is to say, metallic or other artificial connection between transmitting and receiving stations must not be employed.” Professor A. M. Low states:— “Taken all over the world, there must be thousands of people who are experimenting with means whereby actual vision can be transmitted by radio, and it cannot be that this work will all be without some definite product.” From this it can be seen that the amazing possibility of seeing by means of wireless waves is by no means an empty dream, but that we may look forward to the time when j we may sit in comfort in our homes | and see what is going on simultane- j ously many miles away. j
