An INTERIM DIVIDEND of Fifty cents per share has been de clared payable on TUESDAY, 27th August next, on and after which date Dividend Warrants may be obtained, apan application at the Registered Office of the Company, Canal Road East, Bowrington, Hongkong,
By Order of the Board,
W. F. SIMMONS,
Secretary: Hongkong, 6th August, 1929.
Mihaly, has solved the problem of reproducing, at a receiving appara- ius, the moving picture of a really moving object or of a efnemalo. graph picture provided at a set-
ing station.
This is an extremely important step forward. 11 far surpases everything attained in the tele graphic transmission of pictures, In telegraphic transmission the observer sees how'a complete pic-- ture is built up point by point on the drum of the receiver and can then be examined at will like any other picture. The procedure with the Mihaly television apparatus is quite different. The picture is not drawn permanently but up- pears on a plate of opaque glass,. exactly as it appears on the screeni in a cinema; it moves and lives) just as the film lives. And the whole picture only appears once.
