...Hogan facsimile recorders can be plugged into any FM radio. They can also be used on standard sets, with slower reception. The transmission is similar to wirephoto. Copy for broadcast is fastened to a revolving cylinder. An electric eye records the varying lightwaves reflected by the different shades of black, converts them into sound signals for broadcasting. Tuned to the proper frequency, receiving sets pick up these signals, reconvert them to electrical impulses which bombard a roll of paper. The result: the chemically treated paper develops an impression much as a photoprint reacts from light waves. Fine type, action pictures...
...Greenwich Village laboratory, John Vincent Lawless Hogan, founder and president of New York's WQXR* and a topflight inventor since 1910, demonstrated his new facsimile newspaper transmitter and receiver. Plugged to an FM radio, his recorder rolled out a 9½-by-12-inch newspaper like a paper towel, 500 words a minute, 16 pages an hour. No linotype, press or delivery boy was needed; everything on the pages was broadcast free. It came in clear as an advertiser's tear sheet...
...November 1944 Inventor Hogan unloaded half his duties at WQXR to devote more time to facsimile research begun some twelve years ago (TIME, Feb. 14, 1944). He got 20 broadcasters (twelve of them publishers) to put up $250,000 for his experiments. Now his finished product looks so good that General Electric is tooling up for production, expects units on the market within a year...
Mindful of his publisher-sponsors, Hogan argues that facsimile could boost rather than bust the press. Smart newsmen, says he, will use it for spot bulletins and edition teasers. Yet many a skeptical publisher, with one eye on his costly presses and linotypes, noted that during the eight night hours, a facsimile recorder could be rolling out a 128-page morning newspaper, with news hours ahead of the standard press...
...finished first was not Nelson, nor either of golf's other two big names-Sam Snead and Ben Hogan-but a new young master from Springfield, Mo. named Herman Reiser. A year ago 31-year-old Golfer Reiser was a storekeeper on the cruiser Cincinnati. He started in front and stayed there until he canned the last putt for a six-under...
