RADIO PHOTOGRAPHY Radio broadcasting is slowly becoming part of our daily life. The improvements which are being developed by radio engineers and are being employed by listeners, and their receivers are therefore constantly improving. It is expected that one of the additions which will be made to radio receivers in the near future will be a small box to which will be attached a plug. This plug will be placed into the jack of the radio set, and when the receiver is tuned in to a station broadcasting pictures the radio listener will be able to watch the reproduction of some event on the screen of the producer. The principle of picture transmission over wires was worked out somewhere about 50 years ago, and all the work being done at the present time in this field is based on the original principles. There have been many new pieces of apparatus invented which make the work an easier matter to-day. The vacuum type amplifier and the photo-electric cell have proved a wonderful help to investigators in this field of radio research. Radio science has up to the present developed two distinct methods of signalling, one by modulation, and the other by interruption. The first is usually associated with broadcasting of wireless telephony, and the second with telegraphy. Both of these methods of signalling may be adopted to radio photography, and each will have its distinct field.
