...freedom from interference can be assured. This, they declare, has been fully demonstrated. The Belin machine, however, differs from the Tel. & Tel. machine. The original record from which Belin transmits his pictures must be etched upon a brass 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...
...passes. The fluctuations in the current passing through the magnetic field move the metal wall back and forth according to their intensity, making the slot wider or narrower. The light beam, passing through the slot, falls on the revolving cylinder, printing broader or narrower lines of light on the film.
