vide a rapid and accurate means of
the transmission of pictures. The
apparatus in its present form rep.
rcsents the association of many re
cent inventions, together with stan
dard types of telephone and tele-
graph apparatus which have been
readapted to this new use.
With the opening of the station
in Los Angeles, it becomes possible
to send pictures electrically to New
York, Chicago, Boston, Clevela nd,
Atlanta and San Francisco and to
receive them from the same cities.
Simultaneous transmission from any
one to the other six cities may also
be effected if necessary.
Method Is Simple
The simplicity of the method s
such that a positive transparent
film made from any subject matter
is suitable for transmission. The
apparatus is so designed as to trans
nit a picture five inches by seven
inches in seven minutes. The pie
ture is received in such form that
after Photographic development Of
Imperial Valley press., 1927-01-12

ed Photographic film is rotated un-
der a beam Of light in a manner
similar to that ut the transmit ing
end. The two films are caused to
rotate at exactly the same speed
and the impulses starting from the
photoelectric cell at the sending
end control, by means of a new de.
vice known as light valve, the
amount of light reaching the film
at the receiving end.
The time of ac1uai transmission
of picture, about seven minutes
IS relatively V small part of the
total time elapsing between the tax
ing of the picture and its final de-
livery in the form of a print. Most
of the total time is used in the pure
iy photographic operations. When
these are reduced by using the
films while still wet, the overall
time is reduced about one hour. Pic.
lures transmitted electrically by the
process are suitable for all purposes
FOR which direct photographic
prints can be used.
The telephotograph stat ions in
the seven cities are connected TO.
ðer by long distance telephone
lines over which the current carry
ing the picture is transmitted. The
ultimate route of the long distance
lines will be from San Francisco to

'TELEPHOTOGRAPH SERVICE

Of pictures between Los Angeles
and six other cities Of the United
States now possible since the open

while still Wet. this system elimi,
mates the delay which would other

The positive film is inserted in
the transmittor simply by rolling it
up in a cylindrical form. During the
transmission a very small and in
tense beam of light shines through
the film onto a photoeleetric cell
within. The film is rotated at Il
uniform speed and by means of 4
screw mechanism is caused TO ad-

is therefore the same as that of a
