ger and which will only affect inductance
No. 1 because all other inductances are
working on different wave lengths.
"In the receiving box are many audio-
frequency amplifers. connected with cleo
tro-magnets and equipped with pivoted
diaphragms, in the centre of which are
mounted vertical strips of mirror, which
are very narrow.
''These mirrors may be lie of an inch
wide or Whereabouts. From a common
source of light single ray falls just out
side of each mirror. The common source
of light may be powerful tungsten lamp
enclosed in a box perforated with many
holes. Each hole lets ray of light pass
and each hole sends a ray of light upon
different diaphragm.
'"The instant that the audio-frequency
amplifier energies the electromagnetic the
diaphragm in front of it begins to turn on
its axis, and the ray of light normally at
rest begins to vibrate back and forth
This ray of light falls upon ground
glass plate in the rear of the receiver.
'"The more current flows in the electro
magnet the more the diaphragm will turn.
OF course, this diaphragm is attached in.
such a manner that it will not turn
through great angle. A small fraction
of degree is sufficient. If the mirror
turns only a minute angular measurement
or less, the beam of light that plays on
the ground glass will move for quite a
distance.
eff the diaphragm vibrates violently, the
fiat pencil of light will illuminate square
upon the screen which is predetermined
be experimentation. If the diaphragm does
not vibrate at all, the light pencil is not
visible at all because, as we stated before,
the light ray can only be reflected when
the narrow mirror begins to vibrate. At
rest there can be no reflection of the light
ray, because the latter does then not fall
upon.the mir1or at all. The more the mir
ror vibrates the wider the light band be-
comes. In other words, if at the
sender photo-electric cell number one is
fully Illuminated, it will send out strong
impulse, which strong impulse is received
at the receiving end exactly as if at the
present time broadcasting station was
sending out loud note, you would hear it

and the resulting picture would be
blurred.
It is the business of science to accom-
plish the impossible. To the scientist
nothing is, theoretically, impossible. Com
sequently. there is nothing that science
cannot eventually accomplish. People
say, "It is impossibley' That is simply
because we do not know now how to
do it.
But science always, after while, finds
out how to do it, and that is why, in the
next few years, we will be able to sit
comfortably IN the theatre and see, be-
fore our very eyes, things that are act
ually happening in London, Paris and
Rome as well as in various parts Of this
country.
And now that the wireless telephone is
fact, it is only one more step to COM
bine the wireless motion picture with the
future facilities of the wireless telephone,
so that as we view the moving picture of
some distant event we can, over the wire
less telephone, hear the hum of activity,
the shouts of the spectators if it is bali
game, the booming of the guns if it be
battle, the plaudits of the multitude at q
coronation, and thus enjoy all the realism
of the event.
A somewhat similar combination has
been tried in the talking motion pic
ture," where the voices Of the actors
shooting" picture are recorded and
then repeated as the picture is shown on
the screen, attempting to fit the action to
the word. The difficulty has been to syn
chronize the action and the words, and so
far no practical solution of the problem
has been found.
But, in the light of obstacles that have
been overcome by scientists in recent
years, it would seem comparatively sim
pie matter to invent a method of recording
on sound-sensitive cells the hum, noises
and voices audible while the picture is be-
ing taken, and by wireless telephone to
send these sound waves along with the
light waves from the scene itself. In pic
lures of mass scenes of this sort absolute
synchronization would not be necessary.
That is, the discrepancy OF second or
two would make no difference.
The Washington times., 1923-02-18

on through myriads of little wires to
another enormous plate of selenium cells,
each of which accepts its quota of electric
waves and retransforms them into the
original light waves These light waves
are then projected through tiny lenses
onto the SCREEN"
The only trouble with selenium as ap-
piled to the transmission of motion pie
lures is that it is sluggish. 1t is the one
substance that can transform light waves
into electric waves, but in accomplishing
this it takes the larger part of second to
make the change.
Inasmuch as light is instantaneous, the
delay in transmitting the continuous light
rays into electric waves would tend to
make the reconstructed picture blurred.
The problem then is to either speed ,
and stimulate the action of the selenium
cell, or to find substitute cell which
will accomplish the same purpose, namely,
transform light waves into electric waves,
and later retransform them.
Scientists are working in both direc-
tions. If, by the injection of some alloy
VI Wy VIC Will SCAcHIOA VI
some stimulating substance for which
selenium has an affinity, the action of
the selenium can be speeded up, the
problem will be solved.
On the other hand, there is the hope
that substitute cell may be devised and
developed to the point of practicability.
One such has already been conceived. It
is the photo-electric cell, which is highly
sensitive to light. The action of these
cells and the surrounding mechanism is
thus described in Science and Invention:
"At the transmitter is an ordinary
camera-like box, in the back Of which
The Washington times., 1923-02-18

inasmuch as light waves cannot pene-
trate the earth. The electric waves can
penetrate the earth. Consequently, if the
light waves that it is desired to shoot over
from London to New York can be trans
formed into electric waves and then at
this end be retransformed into light
waves, the principal obstacle to wireless
motion pictures is overcome. And this
can be done by the use of selenium in
selenium cells.
Furthermore, and this is the second
important point, selenium not only trans
forms light waves into electric waves, but
its ability to conduct electricity in cur
rents is in proportionate strength to the
light that falls upon it. Consequently,
the lights and shadows, all the delicate
shadings Of a picture sent across from
thus be faithfully reproduced.
Nov, suppose, for instance, it was
desired to send for the entertainment of
an audience in Madison Square Garden, a
moving picture of the coronation of
England's next king. An immense plate
would be erected close to the objects that
are TO De Photographed. IhlS plate would
consist Of tens of thousands of tiny
selenium cells. It would be necessary to
have great number of these cells because
some Of them would have to take care
Of the dark light waves, some of the
medium light waves and so on. In other
words, this plate would be an enormous
grid of tiny cells each taking care of it's
own particular rays. Each Of these cells
would be connected with wire which in
turn would be connected with the sending
station. A lens takes up the image and
casts it upon this myriad of seIenium
cells, or eyes, each eye according to the
The Washington times., 1923-02-18

there is great number of tiny photo
electric cells. Each cell responds accord
ing to the strength of light and shade cast
upon it. The lens in front of the camera
picks up a view and throws it inverted
upon a group of photo-electric cells in
the rear. All dark parts of the picture
will not affect light sensitive cells and
thus remain inactive.
'The other parts of the picture will
affect the various cells in proportion with
the amount of light. These cells then
send their impulses into the vacuum tube
incubator and synthetizer. This vacuum
tube incubator is a regulation radio
transmitter such as is used in all broad
casting stations to-day. Each photo
electric cell is made to operate separate
vacuum tube and each of these vacuum
tubes sends out it's own wave. For
instance, photo-electric cell No. / will
send out on wave, say, of 500 meters;
phOto-electric cell No. transmits on a
wave of 5OOH meters, and so forth.
"From the radio transmitter all of these
waves are sent out from one and the
SSSAAAS e@CAAnAS 10 HUAbC ACoSAUAC1 Iva
it was demonstrated years ago that one
aerial could be used to send out many
messages, each on different wave length,
and there is no trouble in doing this very
thing to-day. Thus, with this transmitter,
light impulses have been transformed into
electrical waves which in turn can be shot
out into space at different wave lengths,
each retaining it's own identity.
"The distant receiving aerial picks up
all the different wave lengths on regula-
ton radio receiving outfit which, of
course, must be able to tune very sharply;
otherwise it will not be possible to re-
ceive clear picture.
"In the television receiving box is
bank of inductances with their respective
condensers, together called the wave ana
lyzer. This wave analyzer is already in
use to-day and is not a new development
at all. Any owner of q vacuum tube set
knows he can tune in or out almost any
wave length that comes along within rea-
SON. Consequently, when at the distant
sender, photo-electric cell No. ! is ener-
gized, it sends out wave at 500 meters,
which wave is received in the wave analy-

In other words,
each Of these cells

responds according
to the amount Of
light that it has re-

this light wave into
an electric wave and
releases a current of

The whole scene be-
fore the plate is
broken into a series
of minute squares, a
mosaic, you might
say, of varying
lights and shades,
