SHORT-WAVE TELEVISION

HELPING EXPERIMENTERS A special short-wave radio television broadcasting station is to be placed in operation in New York shortly to carry moving images into the homes of radio amateurs and technically inclined set builders who are interested in carrying on the development work, according to Joseph B. Ferguson, of Newark, N.J. Mr. Fer-

guson is a member of the syndicate which has purchased the American, Canadian and Mexican rights of the Baird Television Development Company of London. Mr. Ferguson said that complete television receivers for home use, or the necessary parts for constructing the sets, would be placed on the market in July or August. “With this nucleus of radio experimenters as a basis, the art of receiving television images in the home will be extended to greater numbers of people,” Mr. Ferguson said. WRNY’S PLANS Television images are scheduled for broadcast from 2XAL, the short-wave

station of WRNY, by the Nakken Television Corporation, a recently formed subsidiary of the Pilot Electric Manufacturing Company of Brooklyn. Transmitting equipment is to be built in sufficient quantities so that broadcasters who wish the apparatus can be supplied, and production on television receivers will be started at an early date, it was said. The receivers will be made for plugging into present radio sets, and, if the demand warrants, as a complete broadcast and television receiver.
