Color with Fields, In the CBS color system (called "field sequential"), the transmitting camera, like the ordinary black & white camera, has a single Image Orthicon "seeing" tube. In front of it is a spinning disc with segments of blue, green and red transparent plastic. When a blue segment is in front of the tube, the camera sees only the blue light coming from the scene being televised. When the disc has turned a little, putting a red segment in front of the tube, the camera sees only the scene's red light. Next, it sees green through a green...
This week Moscow's hordes of subway-riding white-collar workers and bureaucrats were full of stir as workmen put the finishing touches on a new subway line. It is the first segment of a Great Circle line that will intersect the present three spokelike crosstown lines (see map).

This segment stands out in "Eccentric" behind Davison's trumpet. Jimmy Archey, the small trombonist who made such a big noise in Boston last winter, handles the leads on "Hotter Than That" and "Big Butter And Egg Man," teaming on the latter with Sutton to manufacture a beautiful duct...
