Radio Pictures Service
HE first picture transmitted by wireless from Australia to England is a photograph of Wing-Commander Kingsford .Smith,. published: in. "The Times." This was sent by Beam, and received by Imperial Communications, Ltd. The transmission was only experimental; a regular service does not start until the Marconi facsimile. apparatus has. been installed. at both ends. While expressing pleasure at the result, Mr. B. 'T. Fisk, managing director
of Amalgamated Wireless, emphasised to-day that the transmission was purely experimental. A commercial service is not. yet possible, he says, but this transmission showed definitely that in: favourable circumstances it is possible. to send pictures over this great distance by wireless. The achievement would maintain Australia’s reputation as a pioneer | in world wireless development.
