The reflected beam sends the lights & shadows of the picture through the shutter to a conventional photo-electric cell ("electric eye")- There the image is translated into electric impulses which flash over the wires-10.000 mi., if desired-to the receiving machine. The receiver reverses the process, registering the image on a sensitized film, which is then developed and printed like any ordinary picture...

Among the purchasers are Ogden Reid, Richard Beatty Mellon, Edward Stephen Harkness. Collectors less rich may buy individual prints...
