|CITY PLANNERS STUDY ZONINC

Cambridge, Mass GU. ,P.) = A study of zoning which promises to prove valuable to landowners, re- altors and bankers is being directed by Harland Bartholomew, city plan- ming engineer, as the first subject of 1891 research program of the Har- yard University School of City Plan ming.
 The primary purpose of the re- search is the collection and organiz- ation of data on the use of land as a basis of scientific zoning. especially in the allocation of areas for future uses, both as to location and amount. Among other potential values of the investigation are the encourage ment of inadequate judicial co-op- eration through the development of zoning as a more exact science, and the clarification of the laws of SUD- ply and demand which govern city building.
 Cities for which Bartholomew has prepared zoning, or planning studies include Washington. New Orleans, St Louis, Los Angeles, Memphis, Vancouver, Louisville, Utica and Schenectady, N, Y.

ica. engineers have tackled the prob- lem of scanning, among many Oth- CTS. One of the most promising soc lutions would require elimination of end. and replacing it with a non- mechanical and wholly electric sys- tenn.
 Vacuum Tube Receiver
 This system makes use of what scientists call a ''cathode ray oscil- lograph." It is a vacuum tube in which a beam of electrons is shot out from an electrode. called the cathode, and on to a layer of some fiuorescent chemical which lights up as the electron beam strikes. 1t.
 These electron beams are 90 df- rected vertically and horizontally as to form a yellowish green image on the flat, fiuorescent surface of this long. conical tube. An image live such a tube.
 This requires operation of the tube at 5000 volts and is hard to control. Here ia a mere hint of the problems that face engineers in their effort to make this form of televis- ion reception practical. Yet the elec-' tron method Is looked upon to-dayi as the most practical and most fea- sible.
 Other Problems, Too
 Television problems. however, are not confined merely to transmission.
 The problem of synchronizing the sending and receiving sets alone Is a. stickier. Each spot of light that helps form the image at the receiver. has to show up in exactly the same place and at exactly the same time as it's corresponding spot of light. that strikes the person or scene to be televised. Getting these spots to lit simultaneously and exactly alike at the rate of 93,000 times 9 second is no simple task. The "electric eye" has met it's highest state of proficiency in the type used at the Bell Laboratories in New York. Here are IF such eyes. each 20 inches long and four. inches in diameter, collecting the soft reflected light from the subject. these eyes lose efficiency when re- quired to work fast. This loss must be overcome before television can Even more questionable is the glow discharge lamp back of the re- ceiving disc, or the cathode ray os- cillograph which takes it's place. Both need a great deal of improve ment before they can be said to be at all practical.
 But even after all the electrical and mechanical problems of tele- vision have been solved, many other problems will remain in transmit ting television programs to the pub- | lie.

 Many are the difficulties = both electrical and mechanical-that en- gineers must overcome before teie- vision becomes established in our home slike the rodio.
 Because of the wide channel re- uuired to carry the thousands or frequencies each second in the trans mission Of a picture, only the very short waves have been found of use in television broadcasting. For only here and ther room enough to per init a great number of broadcasters to send television images on chan neIs at least 100 kilocycles wide.
 But short waves often exhibit very peculiar characteristics. They break into two types at the transmitter
 One kind travels horizontally out ward from the transmitting aerial and is stopped, or reflected, by an ln- tervening object, like tall building or hill.
 The other shoots 100 miles or so upward and bounds back to earth, skipping a great distance from it's source.
 The result is that these, waves are not received except within actual sight of the transmitter or thousands of miles awey. Transmitted from
 
 station in or near city like New York, they have been found to bound and rebound among the tall buildings, leaving deod spots in some places and doubling up in others.
 Scientists of the Bell laborato- ries in New York, receiving radio transmitted images from their ex- perimental station 3XN at Whip pany, N. J., hase seen as many as four or five layers of the same i'm age, one coming q brief fraction of a second after the other, all creat- ing fuzzy and indistinct image.
 But as short waves are now the only means that television engi- neers see to make their science practical. they are studying then and trying to device means for con- trolling them.

world are struggling.
 The present scanning disc" offers a real problem, for 1t has severe limitations. It limits the size of the received image. It reduces the in- tensity of the light beams to very low degree.
 Jenkins in Washington first tried to solve the disc problem by design ing a new form of scanner in the shape of a cylinder. He is still us- ing this in his frequent transmits sions to amateurs.
 Alexanderson in Schenectady once tried out drum on which Q series of mirrors were mounted, hoping to increase the brightness of the re- ceived image. But he soon discard ed it as impractical.
