COLOUR PICTURES
SENT BY WIRELESS CINEMAS AFTER THE', WAR Television in two colours may be a regular feature in every British cinema when peace comes, as the result of private research work now being done in war time by Mr J. L- Baird, the Scottish pioneer of television. Colour television was first shown by Mr Baird in public to the British Association in 1928. He employs a process like colour printing, superimposing the three primary colours, red, green and blue on one another. The British Association picture was only a few inches square, but, after many experiments the inventor was able, ten years later, to send by wireless a large picture (12ft by nit) in colour television, from the Crystal Palace to an audience of 3000 people in the middle of London. His latest apparatus transmits at the rate of eight and one-third coloured pictures a second. Experiments are now being made in both three and two colours and it is probable that it will begin with a twoco'cnr system over the whole of Great Britain. .
