...success inevitably attracted imitators. In 1958 Chicago's City News Bureau, a journalistic cooperative financed by all four Chicago dailies, launched the PR News Service, a private publicity system patterned after Muschel's brainchild and equally successful. And this year in Los Angeles, two pressagents, incorporated as Transmit, Inc., offered the same service to Southern California newspapers and radio and television stations...
...service is that it would cut down on the personal planting of news releases. We are visited by any number of planters, and we get to know those we think are reliable and those we might have to check further on." On that principle, the Times refused to let Transmit install its machine...
...film was exposed, an automatic mechanism set Lunik to spinning again, so that sunlight during its journey would not scorch one side while the other side froze and upset the delicate mechanism inside. Then, having gone around the moon, Lunik swung back toward the earth, began to transmit the pictures. A slow system was used when Lunik was still at a great distance from the earth, a faster system when it came nearer and its signals were easier to receive. The transmission was done by a sort of TV camera that scanned the pictures electronically, line by line, and translated...
...weather forecasting), and carry out other experiments. The satellite is shaped like a gyroscope and is spun to keep it whirling cleanly instead of tumbling. It squeals like a bagpipe as it signals from two transmitters-one powered by a chemical battery, the other solar-powered and possibly could transmit for the expected life of the satellite-20 years. But, through a unique timing device, the radio will shut off after one year so as not to clutter the air waves. Explorer VII takes over from the Explorer VI paddlewheel (TIME, Aug. 17), whose solar-powered radio, expected...
...year history of radio, man has learned to send signals over mountains, across oceans, and up to the moon and back. But the search for a radio that could transmit signals beneath the water's surface was sterner. To receive messages in World War II, subs had to surface or poke up the antenna-bearing periscope and risk detection. Last week word leaked that the U.S. Navy has whipped this underwater communications problem...
