...principal reason for the belittling of this rumor was the ease with which radio waves, short enough to transmit sufficient power to effect a magneto, could be shielded. These waves are of optical range, that is to say, their power of penetration is little better than that of light. This means that the hood of a car would be more than sufficient to render them impotent...
...appeared when American Telephone & Telegraph Co.'s experimental laboratories produced the coaxial cable. This consists essentially of two hollow copper tubes with a slender copper wire running through the centre of each, the whole insulated and sheathed in a lead case. Developed primarily as a telephone improvement (it transmits 240 messages simultaneously), it can also handle a frequency band 1,000,000 cycles wide, is able thus to transmit the fluctuating lights & shadows of television. With this cable it would be possible to "pipe" a televised program all over the U. S. A. T. & T. patented its cable, applied...

After calling Sir Herbert's suggestion "most interesting" and promising to transmit it to Geneva, Sir Samuel added, with what seemed to Italians mealy-mouthed British hypocrisy: "We are dealing with the question as realists, but not as cynical realists, rather as sympathetic realists who know that if great moral issues are treated rashly and clumsily we may, with the best intentions...
