American Television Corp. (formerly Communicating Systems, Inc.) manufactures two receiving sets (sin. screen for $150, 5-in. for $250). Both sets receive only pictures. Sound must be received on the shortest wave band of a five-band radio set, or sound reception can be added to an A. T. C. set for $15 to $17 additional cost. A. T. C.'s president, founder and owner is former Theatre-Electrician Samuel (''Money") Saltzman...
Holders of commercial broadcasting licenses are required by the FCC to stay on the air at least two-thirds of their broadcasting day. Television wave lengths allotted on experimental licenses may be idle during long periods. On May 10, before an invited audience, A. T. C. sets had their first public workout. NBC, whose parent company will presumably be making and selling receiving sets as soon as it feels it is commercially practicable, has since added to its telecast this screened announcement: These television transmissions are experimental and should not be regarded as establishing a Television Service. Any revision...
...three engineering obstacles stand in the way of regular U. S. television service, 1) Present television standards are tentative. Improvements might bring standards that would make current equipment obsolete. 2) The entire basic mechanism of television might be changed. 3) Either the effective range of television's video wave must be lengthened beyond the present so-mile radius or the band of wave lengths needed for a television station must be reduced radically to solve the problem of wavelength congestion...
Phenomena found to affect the ionosphere are auroral displays, and terrestrial magnetic disturbances. An apparent close connection between radio wave propagation and weather conditions on the ground is being investigated by the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory of Harvard, in cooperation with the radio engineers...
When the bloody bubble of Dublin's Easter Rising fizzled out in 1916, it left a number of ruined buildings, a few snipers still forlornly shooting from housetops, a profound wave of disillusionment in the Irish revolutionary movement. Last week, a young Irishman named Louis Lynch D'Alton dramatized the change in revolutionary hearts in a bitter first novel that showed how two Irishmen reacted to the Easter Week fiasco. To Revolutionist Andrew Kilfoyle, who fought in it, the Rising was sickening, "a revolt of poets and schoolmasters," inept, ill-planned, melodramatic, futile. It convinced him that next...
