Like all arts, tele- vision must pass through a pre- liminary stage, and, with the ex- perience gained in the first year or two, better results will be achieved.

WIRELESS SETS
HOW TO BLACKEN METAL- WORK
There are a number of metal ar- ticles which enter into the construc- tion of a wireless set, and which would present a far better appear- ance if they were made to give a blackened appearance. Articles such as small screws, which are used mainly for securing the panel to brackets, metal supports for com- ponents, etc.. can very easily be coloured up.

When only one or two cells are to be filled this may seem a waste of time and money, but anyone who has the job of filling a 150-volt II.T accumulator consisting of 75 3os cells will readily appreciate the utility of the gadget. A small pipette is also useful for topping up accumulators, and this might be made the next item to be obtained, or, alternatively, you can use your hydrometer quite well for this.

Again, at the present time it is not possible to get simultaneous, transmission of voice and tele- vision. The procedure runs some- what like this: The studio an-1 nouncer will say: "Now we will televise such and such an object." It will take one or two minutes to show the object, and then the voice sounds from the studio will again be heard in your receiver. In between announcements you will be able to pick up television, but you will not be able to get both simultaneously until an entirely new invention is made. However, with the large number of experi menters that are on the job, it may not be long before a new machine is perfected.
At present, at the receiving end we have a revolving disc, usually made of aluminium, about 14 to 24 inches in diameter, and in it a num- ber of holes. Directly behind the holes is a Neon lamp, which is at- tached to the ordinary set. If necessary, the impulses coming through your radio receiver may be amplified in order to make the light of the Neon lamp bright enough for receiving purposes. The aluminium disc. is rotated by means of a small motor, and the television! receiver has a rheostat in series with the field of the motor. By adjusting this rheostat it is possible to keep the rotation of your disc in step with that of the transmitter at the station. Through the holes a picture is built up, and thus is seen what is. shown at the studio. Thia, at best, is more or less a crude way of doing things, and will 'not prevail in the future. We
