Electric Eye Sends News
The Japanese news agency Kyodo, has demonstrated a machine which can send and receive up to 300 characters a minute. Both transmitting and receiving sets are no bigger than an ordinarytypewriter. The news is printed on a paper tape and is then run through a transmitter, where an electric eye scans the tape and transforms the printed image into an electric impulse. It is believed that the machine may be exported to Far Eastern countries where the present system of sending number indexes is cumbersome and unwieldy.
