About TelevisiOn
What engineers regard as truly
practical television for the home,
in the form of images 7 by 9
inches instead of the tiny frames
now usually demonstrated, will
be shown in special exhibitions at
the trade show Of the Radio
Manufacturers Association next
week.
The development, which I'M
wolves a new and intricate series
of lenses, Is the work of Hollis
Baird, 24-year-old chief engineer,
as the result of research with fel-
low engineers and optical experts.
Furthermore. pictures more
than 10 feet square will be shown
by the equally youthful U. A.
Sanabria, through an arrange
ment just made whereby the
Sanabria and Baird interests will
unite in the endeavor to bring
commercial television so much
nearer.
Sanabria's light sourse is a hot
cathode neon-arc lamp, giving as
much light using five milliam-
peres as the old type light did
when using a hundred milliam-
peres, and works normally at four
and five hundred milliamperes.
Portable traSmitting and re-
ceiving will be shown by both
Baird and Sanagria. The tie-up
Of Baird and Sanabria, it was as.
serted by members of the radio
industry arriving for the show,
is the first commercially import
ant progressive step taken by the
so-called independents who are
pioneering in television.
