Each tiny dot receives an electric charge according to the amount of light that falls on it. A beam of electrons shot from a cathode tube and controlled by rapidly oscillating magnetic fields weaves back & forth across the sheet of mica 6,000 times per second. The beam discharges the electropositive tension in the dots, and the changing pattern of this discharge modulates a current passing through the sheet. The modulated current, fed into a radio transmitter...

Mr. Jones noted that on a when-issued basis the proposed bonds were already selling 8% above par. Evidently...
