A similar but not so expert array of faked pictures was published April 1 by the Chicago Daily News Midweek.

A roomful of light transforming equipment, another roomful of motors, and at least two expert engineers are needed for each sending receiving station. The transmission cost, without figuring equipment, is more than 20 times ordinary toll rates. A. T. & T. is experimenting because it feels that sometime a practical use for television may crop up. Only uses conceived so far: for separated sweethearts, for identifying criminals, for the convenience of bank depositors who want...
