Color with Dots. RCA's system, called "dot interlacing," is entirely electronic, needs no spinning disc. In the transmitting camera are three tubes. In front of them is a system of "dichroic mirrors" (see below) which allow each tube to "see" in one color only. All three tubes scan the scene continuously, but an electronic switching device, turning their signals on & off 11.4 million times a second, allows each tube to transmit over the telecasting station only one-third of the time. In this way the "video signals" from all three tubes are strung together like trains made...
...side of the argument and build up the Archbishop's position. He was reported by the UP to have refused to go to the Chancery to read the full text of the letter and to have denied admittance to the priest the Archbishop sent to St. Benedict's to transmit the letter...
...protective, defensive role of pain was scientifically shot to smithereens," Soresi declares, "by . . . [Herbert S.] Gasser when he determined . . . the speed at which the various fibers transmit impulses and proved that the alleged pain fibers are among the slowest, if not actually the slowest." Nature, says Soresi, could not have been so inept as to give warning duty to its slowest couriers...
...what overall purpose does Masonry exist? In the high words of Roscoe Pound, onetime dean of the Harvard Law School and ex-Deputy Grand Master of the Massachusetts Masonic Grand Lodge, its end is "to preserve, to develop and transmit to posterity the civilization we have inherited . . . Wherever in the world there is a lodge of Masons, there should be a focus of civilization, a center of the idea of universality, radiating reason...
Like the Dynaflow, the Ultramatic uses oil-driven turbines to transmit the engine's power to the wheels without the use of gears. But it also eliminates Dynaflow's one drawback: a slight feeling of "mushiness" or power wastage during acceleration. The Ultramatic overcomes this by having, in addition to the hydraulic drive, an automatic clutch which puts the car into direct drive when a certain speed is reached, thus eliminating slipping. At any speed between 15 and 55 m.p.h., the motorist can also switch from hydraulic to direct mechanical drive by momentarily raising the accelerator...
