RADIO TELEVISION
NEWSPAPER TRANSMISSION. SIMPLE REPRODUCTION MADE. Received April 4, 11 p.m. NEW YORK, April 4. A message from Schcnectauy states that the General Electric Company announces that a complete page of newspaper was transmitted from San Francisco here by radio for the first time, three hours after the journal was printed. The distance is 2500 miles. The recording machine was developed by Charles Young, a son of Owen D. Young. It can be attached to any radio receiver much the same as a loud speaker. Engineers forecast that some day radio may deliver a large part of the business mail and bring the daily newspaper into the home quite irrespective of distance. Television has made such rapid strides recently that engineers expect that before this year has ended radio listeners may also see a game proceeding as they hear the play described.
