PLAN OF INVENTOR
Jenkins to Make Picture
Device Available for
Amateurs.

c. Francis Jenkins, inventor of a
system of autobiography, has com
pleted plans for making his device
available for the use of amateurs
throughout the country in an en-
deavor to further perfect the wireless
transmission of pictures.
Mr.. Jenkins proposes to supply the
radio-photographic transmitters to
amateurs at less than the actual cost
of building the sets. The Amateur
Relay League is cooperating with the
scientist and it is expected that the
Summer will witness an interesting
season of pictures in the air. The
department of Commerce, it is under
stood, looks favorably on the project
and probably will issue a regulation
permitting the operation of the pic
ture-transmitters on the wave lengths
i'll the amateur hands.
Will Not Interfere.
According to DIR. Jenkins, the trans
mission OF pictures on the amateur
wave lengths will not cause any in
reference with broadcasting or the
regular transmission of CIV messages
by the amateurs. His device is used
for both transmission and reception
and will work with any other type
on any wave length.
THE wireless transmission of pic
lures is still in it's infancy" Dr.
jenkins said, ''and by obtaining the
cooperation of the amateurs we will
be able to make considerably more
rapid progress in the development OF
the art than If it were left to the few
workmen in any one laboratory. BY
permitting the amateurs to use the
device l consider that / am increas-
ing my laboratory force by just as
many assistants as take up the work
of experimentation with the trans.
mitters.'
