LONDON. October 80
Two pictures, the first that ot the King, and the second a cartoonist s line drawing, were successfully broadcasted by the British Broadcasting Corporation, and were received by the Kultograph system. Bach occupied four minutes in the process of transmission and reception. It is a far cry to television, which requires moving pictures at the rate of sixteen per second—the speed of the cinema— but the experts are entirely satisfied, and express the opinion that there is a great future for the Fultograpb. It is a small box, costing twenty guineas. It.' lias a revolving cylinder over which travels a length of sensitised paper. A platinum-tipped needle traverses this paper until, line by line and dot by dot. the picture has been completed, and can be torn off. The experiment produced a remarkable likeness of the King, resembling an ordinary sepia photograph. 4;J inches hv -V inches.
It is expected that these machines will he’ turned out in quantities in November, considerably reducing their cost.
