Experts Say Baseball and

By United Press


SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Jan. IA
The possibility of one sitting in his
own home and hearing and seeing
an opera, a baseball game, prize
fight, or events of equal interest
moved definitely closer today.
Television broadcaSting was DEM
onstrated successfully by the Cen
eral Electric Company yesterday at

demonstration that moved the posi-
bilities of combining ones own fire.
side comfort with the pleasure of
seeing and hearing the drama.
In the demonstration here, the
seeing and hearing was done in the
laboratory of DIR. E. F. w. Alexan-
der, consulting engineer of the
Radio Corporation and the General
Electric Company.
A group of executives Of several
companies and numerous other wit
nesses gathered. They were told
to watch two cabinets about four
feet high.
See and Hear Actors
Soon there was action. There
were pictures of people moving. They
talked. One could see their lips
moving and hear the words they
said. One man was smoking
cigaret. The smoke curling up from
the cigaret could be seen. His COM
mentS were heard easily.
The test was made in three homes
and in each home the result was the
same. The sight was pictured and
the sounds were heard.
The tests brought enthusiastic
praise from the witnesses. David
Sarnoff of the Radio Corporation
was among the enthusiastic crowd.
"Broadcasting of television now
seems clear" he said. "We will de-
velop it so that eventually not only
sound but sight through radio
broadcasting will be available in
every home"
The system would by no means
interfere with the present radio, but
would supplement the already
known system.
Normal Wave Length
The broadcasting of sound in yes
terday's test was done on the nor
NAL wave length of station WGY,
379.5 meters. Vision was sent on
a short wave length of 376.8 meters.
The receiver for vision differs
FrO,,, f1,o NrJj,,or,, eI1Orf xtyo x,a 70
ceiver in that it converts the waves
into light instead of sound. The
elements of the receiver are a light
source, a scanning device and a
synchronizing system.
The amplifier of the light waves
is substantially the same as that
used in a loud speaker. The ampli-
fed current is delivered to the
lamp. which responds to the fluctu-
ations of the light intensity, just
as the diaphragms of loud speak
er reproduce the pulsations of the
sound waves.
Disc RevOlves Rapidly
A disc, twenty-four inches in di-
ameter and with forty eight holes,
is placed in front of the lamp and
revolves at such speed that eighteen
revolutions are made in a second.
Eeach of the holes passed each
other and traces successive lines of
the picture. This is done so speedily,
however, that to the eye it appears
exactly the same as an image on the
screen.
The receiver for the television is
greatly similar to the regular radio
receiver.
