unless you happen to live in some parts of the country where thanks to the newest marvel of modern science television you can just lean back in a comfortable chair in the theater or in your own favorite chair at home relax and watch the game out of the stadium the television cameramen are seeing to it that you can follow every detail of the game they're out there on the sidelines following every important piece of action cables connect the cameras with the mobile unit which  parked outside the stadium and from these trucks the scenes covered by the cameras i relayed to the main television transmitter now let's see what a television studio looks like it's a mighty b place when a broadcast is being made from the studio great banks of lights whittled down to flood seen cameramen reel in and out to pick up the action from the angle selected by the director to keep the action continuous while customs are changed and while different sets are made ready and action film which could not take place on a small stage portions of some broadcast are made by project in prepared motion picture of them right into a television camera using the same actors and identical sets of motion pictures are made in advance the electrician the camera man the studio manager and the actors are all controlled by the director his job is to see that the broadcast proceed smoothly and without breaks because the picture on the television screen must be continuous cam'ron mov television and motion pictures are alike because in both a series of still pictures is placed rapidly before our eyes so rapidly that the memory of each picture lingers long enough so that it blends with the next picture and the objects in the pictures appear to move and now let's see what makes a picture a picture look closely at this one closer still let's use a magnifying glass here we see that the picture is really made up of thousands of tiny dots arranged very close together but normally our eyes don't notice but especially when the picture is being move this fact helps to make television and motion pictures possible television is simply a way of sending these dots from a transmitting station and putting them together to make a picture on the screen of a receiving set here's the is a rectangular piece of mica covered with millions of tiny photoelectric cells arranged something like this that seems being televised go through the camera lens and fall on the some of the cells receive lots of light others very little each cell according to how much light it gets builds up a corresponding electrical charge these charges collectively make up an electrical image on the mosaic these cells with their electrical charges are scanned by a stream of electrons a scanning beam skips every other line and returns to scan the remainder of the picture completing thirty pictures  second each picture is composed of five hundred twenty five individual scanning lines and electrical impulses released each time this stream covers a group of the particular quick cells each separate impulse travel from the sensitive plate of the eye can a skulk in sequence over wires to the transmitting station where it is them sent out into space to be picked up by aerials connected to television receivers here the electrical impulses are carried to another magic to called the kinescope and i used to control another stream of electrons which sound bad the face of the kinescope which is really the viewing screen when the beam strikes this fluorescent screen each electrical impulses change back to a spot of light in other words each spot of light picked up by the mosaic of tiny part of electric cells in the television camera create a corresponding spot of light on the receiving screen it moves back and forth so rapidly actually more than two and one half miles per second that a complete still picture respond almost instantaneously like a quick succession of thirty pictures a second produces the apparent motion that is why the pictures we see on the screen about television receiver seem to move television has come of age here for instance is a reproduction of one of the first images received on a television screen compare that crude picture with days of today and you can judge for yourself how far along the road to perfection television has traveled it is bringing entertainment to thousands of people through its magic we are able to enjoy a combination of the radio motion pictures and the stage right in the comfort of our own homes simply by pushing a button and turning a dial of course television can perform such miracles as this yet but perhaps there's no harm in that i
