By directing the electrical charges into the proper combination of squares at just the right moment, the RCA men were able to form a rapid succession of numbers-in much the manner of an animated outdoor advertising sign...
Schumacher obtains his electron projectiles by boiling them off a heated metal cathode. High-power electrical fields focus them into a narrow beam and boost them up to tremendous speeds - in much the same manner as electron beams are generated inside a TV picture tube. But Schumacher's gun has a special capability: its electron beam maintains its focus and power for a short distance after it squirts out of the gun barrel and into the atmosphere. In earlier experimental cutters the beam lost its power almost immediately in collisions with air molecules; the target material...
