British Experts Leading The World
From A Radio Correspondent
a large converted mansion on Campdenhill, Holland Park, W., engineers are producing apparatus capable of projecting television pic- tures on to a full-size cinema screen.
The 150-year-old garden outside provides a strange contrast with the complleated apparatus: Inside, which embodies the Intest developments in radlo science.
"While United States experimenters continue to talk of television pictures in terms of inches, the Scophony engineers are developing apparatus for pictures many square feet in size," Mr. F. Sagall, of Scophony Television, Ltd., told me,
I saw a film of Jessie Mathews in "First & Girl" projected on to a screen measuring, 4ft.. Gin. by 3ft. Gin. The lighting was excellent. Although I was standing 20 feet away, it would have been better if the screen had been 50 feet
nway.
AMAZING DETAIL
At the side of this apparatus was a smaller receiver for checking purposes. This showed pictures measuring 10 by 8 inches, and the detail was amazing. One could clearly follow two care in the film racing round a distant winding moun- tain road. The subtle qualities of light and ahade so necessary for good pictures were all there. The picture remained steady and clear.
Even when the room was flood-
ed with sunlight the brillaney of the picture was sumetent to pro- vide perfect entertainment
with the sound which,
companiment from the
Ac.
was virtually a cinema show in the home.
Unlike most other television systems, no high vollages are used. The highest in the receiver will not excred 250 volls, and it is possible to obtain results with as low as 60 volts. This means that houses not suppiled with electric light will still be able to "look-in" with battery television receivers.
Scophony engineers are develop- ing a standard receiver for home use, which will provide pictures 18in. by 12in.
TREMENDOUS PROGRESS
I passed from the laboratory, which was originally the ballroom, into an- other large hall, where there was a full-size cinema screen. The up- paratus for producing pictures of this size is nearly complete.
Tremendous progress has been....... made since I saw the Scophony demonstration a few years ago.

-ALLEGED STATEMENT
"DECIDED TO
AN
TAKE BEST
WAY OUT!"
N unhappy love story of a man and a nurse was told at Epping Police Court recently.
When Albert Thomas Clay, of Nuneaton Rd, Dagenham, met Phyllis Brace, nurse, of Papworth Everard, Cambs, eight years ago they became friendly, but marriage was not discussed because Clay was a tuberculosis patient.
A year ago, according to a Klutement said to live bren made by Clay, they decided that life was not worth white and to take "the best way out of it."
SENT FOR TRIAL
Recently Clay was committed for trial at the Old Balley accused of murdering Phyllis Brace, his sweet- heart.
Mr. E. Clayton, prosecuting, said that in June Clny entered Epping Institution. He was there as a patient until he asked for his discharge. On June 22, about 11 Clay, a.m., Misa Brace called at Epping Institution. nginta medical advice, took his own discharge.
On July 23 Clay was found near Theydon Bois ly-
ing near a heap of stones. Clny said:
"I have been in the forest. I have had some drugs. There is a girl in the forest. She may be dead."
A doctor saw Clay and ordered his removal to hos- pital, and the girl was found dead in Epping Forest next day.

Singapore, Sept. 13. Dutch aviation officials in Singa- Dulch pare expect to establish the
the East Indies-Philippines link in round the world chain of air service within a few months.
Although no statement has been made as to whether the K.N.IL.M. company has secured permission from the Manila authorities to land In the Philippines, they state that the only obstacle in the way of starting the new service is the flooded condi- tion of the aerodrome at Tarakan (Bernzo).
The new service which the Dutch company is planning will join up Balik Papan and Manila, via Tarakan and Zamboanga,
A Dutch nirways official told the Straits Times that

Delective Inspector Claud Smith said that Clay made a statement in which he said: "We discussed the question of marriage, but it was im- possible owing to my condition. The fear of having children who may be offlicted was 100 great."
The alleged statement described how they went to Epping Forest. "We walked into the forest towards Theydon Bois until we found a suit- able spot to rest," it went on.
"About 12.30 p.m. we began to take ABC tablets and barblione, which Phyllis had brought, with her.
'LEGS TIED'
"We decided about a year ago that life was not worth living, and to take the best way out of it. We de cided the best way was to take tablets.
"I should say we took fifty grains of barbitone and forty-five grains of ABC.--- I- went to sleep."
Later the alleged statement said: "Phyllis was lying in a swamp tiy- ing to get out. I tried to help her, but could not get hold. It was rain- ing hard.
"There was a razor In the case. I got it out to use on myself. I could not do it, and I used it on her. I tied her left leg to me when we first lay down.
"She was unhappy, and I wish now to die in any case, I wish to say I am very sorry that I have caused suffering to, her parents."
