Their faces beam with merriment. They blow their horns with hilarious gusto. Their cheeks puff out like full-bloom peonies...
...Belin system, which it has improved in private research, but has not yet used commercially. The Belin principle is quite different from the A. T. & T. process. The photo graph becomes a relief map, the elevations and depressions causing the variations in the electrical current, instead of a beam of light. The Radio Corporation of America owns the Alexanderson method (TIME, Nov. 12), very similar to the Telephone method, by which photographs have been transmitted from New York to Poland and back again. C. Francis Jenkins, a Washington inventor (TIME, June 25), has also transmitted photographs at a distance...
...concentrated in a small spot at one corner of the film. At the receiving station a blank film is formed into a similar cylinder. By a device known as a synchronizer, the cylinders at both ends are started simultaneously and turned at the same rate of speed. The light beam travels in a continuous line over the picture, until it reaches the opposite side. In the center of the cylinder is a "photoelectric cell," consisting of a rod of potassium in a vacuum tube. It is so sensitive to light that any ray falling on it causes the electrons...
...inventors are continuing their experiments in the hope of perfecting some practical application of radio communication with other planets. The principle is not new, for Alexander Graham Bell talked along a beam of light in 1882, and the similar nature of sound and light has long been an established fact...
Somewhere in the South Atlantic, cruises the Blossom, three-masted schooner, 109 feet over all, with a 24-foot beam, bearing George F. Simmons, of Houston, Texas, formerly game warden of his state and professor of ornithology in the University of Texas and in Rice Institute...
