Present Development of Radiovision

Still in Experimental Stage HERE has recently been much interest displayed the world over on the question of radiovision, and exaggerated reports on the stage of perfection reached in this science have been plentiful. In view of this, it is interesting to note the replies sent to cables dispatched to two well-known radio manufacturers in America on the question of the advisability of importing radiovision apparatus into New Zealand. The replies are given below. "Future of radiovision still in laboratory. Static must first be overcome ang éontrolled before commercial value is available." The second cable ‘reads :-"Present radiovision highly unsatisfactory for ordinary purposes. It is only efficient in Jaboratories. . Recommend extreme caution in purchasing." These cables definitely indicate that, for the time being at least, radiovision is still in the experimental stages of its development. Though its ultimate perfection and incorporation in broadeasting is inevitable.. Until that time comes it would be advisable to exercise extreme caution before attempting any premature inclusion of radiovision into New Zealand broadcasting programmes.
