TELEVISION SERVICE
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT RE-BROADCAST FROM FILM On Sunday evening, November 9, the 8.8. C. television service for the first time transmitted a film of a television programme taken off the television screen. The Cenotaph ceremony was transmitted in the morning as a live television broadcast, and a film of the central part of the programme, in sound and vision, was transmitted at 8.45 p.m. , This filming from the screen was done by a temporary method that has been developed at Alexandra Palace, the 8.8.C.’s television, headquarters. This method has limitations and will probably not prove good enough for repeating programmes that depend for their effect upon subtleties of production. A more efficient method of recording television, as sound broadcasting is recorded now, is being developed, and when it is. installed the present temporary method will be abandoned. In the meantime it will at least make it possible to repeat certain interesting and important events, occurring in the morning or afternoon, at a time when all viewers can be at their sets. It will also be useful for rehearsals and testing artists and for preserving records of historic television broadcasts.
