VIEWING BY PHONE PLAN FOR ENGLAND
A “PLUG-IN-AND-VIEW" TELEVISION PLAN WHICH WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR HOMES AND CINE- MAS HAS BEEN COMPLETED BY LEADERS OF BRITAIN'S TELEVISION AND CINEMA INDUSTRIES.
Home service will be "on tap" for those who have *phones at an all-in cost of 5s. a week.
Television was the first casualty of the war, as the ultra shortwave signals radiated from Alexandra Palace had to be stopped because enemy aircraft could take their bearing from them.
Experts have now discovered a way of resuming television in safety, and the plan will be presented to the Postmaster- General, his technical advisers, and Lord Cadman, chairman of the Television Advisory Committee, early this year.
Ready By The Spring
If the consent of the P.M.G. is quickly obtained the plan can be in operation by spring. Not a penny of the taxpayers” money is necessary, It will provide an additional source of revenue for Sir John Simon.
Man behind the plan is Mr. S. Sagall, managing director of Scophony, pioneers of large-screen television. He says: "I am backed By Mr. Oscar Deutsch." Mr. Deutach is head of the 350 Odcon cinemas.
There will be.a central transmitting station much simpler than the present Alexandra Palace plant, and programmes may be staged in studios located in other parts of London. To Be Shared By All
Technicians have worked out a plan which will enable tele- vision programmes to be transmitted over the telephone lines even while they are being used for conversations.
There will be no monopoly in the scheme. It will be shared by the whole television industry. The main purpose of the plan is to enable Britain to maintain her lead in television technique
the result of years of patient research work.
;
Mr. Sagall said: "In this country alone, the television in- dustry would, over the next ten years, be worth £150,000,000. To-day British television is supreme.'
Mr. Oscar Deutsch said: "The plan has my complete ap- proval. I am sure it will also have the support of the cinema industry."
