Wireless Pictures

rd Use for Press Purposes a N interesting and even epoch- , making performance was: recently undertaken by the "Morning Post." This was the taking of a photograph of the running of the Grand National, and transmission of that photograph by the Fultograph Wireless Picture System to the "Morning Post’s" special receiving station in London. To ensure the success of the experiment, a special dark room was built beside the course, and in this the development of the first negative was begun before the race was over. The films were then immediately. placed on the transmitter and transmission made to London, Prints were then made from the films received, and from these block-making began. The special feature of the performance lies in the fact that the Fultograph System is portable, and this was the first time that a. portable photograph transmitting set was used for transmitting purposes.
