TELEWS|ON TEST
T0PLANE SUCCESS
Craft Five Miles Off Picks Up
Image of Girl From
Ground Station. .
BY the Associated Press.

p
LOS ANGELES, May 2l.--A notable
step in the development Of televisfon was
acclaimed by engineers today when the
image of girl was transmitted success
fully from radio station to an airplane
soaring in the sky five mile sway.
Between the wave of blue flashes
which sputtered across the receiver in
the darkened cabin Of a tri-motored
monoplane of the Western Air Express
observers saw a girl clad in a white hat
with a dark band and a white dress,
turn her head slowly.
The image was not clear delinea-
ton, but it was sufficiently etched
against the 8-inch glass screen OF the
receiver to enable the audience Of eight
to pick out her features and distinguish
her movements.
As the plane, piloted by Allan Barrie,
veteran airmail flyer, gained altitude.
Harry r. Lubcke, radio engineer.
switched out the lights in the cabin, the
windows of which had been covered
For a moment the passengers saileo
along in blackness. Then blue flashes
began to dance on the screen Of their
flying theater.
THE television signals at first ap-
peared as rain drops blown before, q
strong wind. Soon the flashes became
conglomerate. The indistinct image was
picked up by the eyes Of the audience,
The engineer turned a dial slowly; the
image became clearer. The hat coulo
be seen and then as she turned, her
profile stood out sharply.
At times, it appeared as though ner
hair was strea ming in WIND. Ihs
Iubcke explained, resulted from the
fact that the plane was traveilng SC
rapidlv through the signals, 120 miles
an hour. that the lines which COM
posed the image could not be held sta
tionary by the receiver. =,
Engineers predicted television would
be added to the radio of airline planes
enabling pilots to see weather charts
pick out fog conditions and provide en-
tertainment for passengers.
