EUROPEAN TELEVISION
Sir-With regard to the excellent article on the European television links which appeared in The Listener of July 2, we should be glad if you would allow us the opportunity of correcting one slight error. Your article mentions that the television link across Switzerland was supplied by the "General Electric Corporation,’ whereas it was supplied by our principals, the General Electric Company Ltd., of England. We are informed by our principals that the contract is the only one of its kind throughout the Continental system to have been granted to a British firm. One of the most important points was the very short delivery time required. Although the contract was only placed in January, the equipment was installed before the end of May ready for the tests in early June. The link operates in the 1700-2300 Mc/s band and provides a one-way reversible television channel handling 625-line pictures.

RICHARDSON
Secretary, British General Electric Co. Ltd., Wellington.
