...reached its highest stage of development in last week's demonstration. Engineer Ernst Frederick Werner Alexanderson of the U. S., with his seven beams of light, John L. Baird of England, with his super-sensitive photo-electric cell and infra-red rays, C. Francis Jenkins in Washington, Edouard Belin of France, these had hounded success for many years. But it remained for Dr. Herbert Ive's,* bearded, bespectacled chief of the Bell television research staff, to correlate the achievements of his predecessors and direct the work of many men to last week's success...
...Edouard Belin, French inventor, who -like engineers of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. (TIME, June 2) -has devised a machine for sending photographs by telephone, last week reported success in transmitting photographs by wireless. A picture sent from his wireless station at Malmaison, ten miles outside of Paris, was published in Le Matin. Convinced of the practicability of transmitting radio pictures between New York and Paris, he intends to establish receiving posts in New York in September...
...Belin made his tests in the presence of a group of scientists and engineers. The pictures were said to show details clearly, despite the handicaps of stormy weather, occasioning atmospheric interferences, and of the proximity of high power electric engines. Transmission of each photograph took five minutes. The New York Tel. & Tel. inventors have also conducted successful experiments in wireless photography. Their telephone device is applicable to the transmission of pictures by radio whenever atmospheric conditions are such that steadiness of transmission and freedom from interference can be assured. This, they declare, has been fully demonstrated. The Belin machine, however...
...priority, since he was sending both radio and wire pictures two years ago. His apparatus employs optical means, impressing the photographs point by point upon a light-sensitive cell. This cell changes the light and shade variations into telephone or radio current waves. His device differs from the Belin and from the Telephone Company machines...
...first public demonstration by the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. (see Page 21) of the most successful method of electrically transmitting photographs yet developed. It is by no means the first time the feat has been done, however. The best-known previous method is probably that of Edouard Belin (TIME, April 7, 1923), who, on Nov. 14, 1920, transmitted photographs from St. Louis to New York. The New York World owns the American rights of the Belin system, which it has improved in private research, but has not yet used commercially. The Belin principle is quite different from...
