...light through 48 apertures arranged spirally in 2) a large disc that revolves 18 times a second. The light thus brushes speedily across an object or performer and is reflected back upon the third important element of the device-photo-electric cells. The reflected light modifies the electro-magnetic waves passing through the tubes. With light waves rapidly translated into electro-magnetic waves, there remains no problem of sending the electro-magnetic waves through the air. Radio transmission, which changes sound waves (also a part of the machine) into electro-magnetic waves has solved that. The sight & sound despatched...
...learned world knew versatile Dr. Michelson as the first man who ever computed the size of a star, as winner of the Nobel Prize in physics (1907), as the man who fixed the standard length of a metre bar in terms of the wave length of cadmiun light.
