THE ART AND CRAFT OF TELEVISING

Technical Effort Is Different

By MARK JOHNS

3

The creation of a programme in television studio is quite unlike the artistic and technical effort involved in any other medium.

The nearest comparison that can be made is with a film studio-but even this is misleading, because while a film studio at any given moment is concentrating on one particular sequence which can be repeated again if necessary, a television production is a combination of theatrical performance, a complicated engineering process and broadcasting techniques which presents its audience with a "live" immediate picture at the very moment when it takes place in the studio.

Combined Freight And Liquid

Carrying Trailers

A solution of the difficult problem of transporting freight and liquids simultaneously is represented by a new dual-purpose 2-wheel tank trailer, ideally suited for Land-Rover/Jeep type vehicles,

It follows the principle used in aircraft design to save space by storing fuel in the unused wing space by turning the inside of the trailer chassis into a tank.

Is converted from a thermo- plastic melting at 113 deg. Centigrade to a material which acquires rubbery characteristics above this temperature, and has, in fact, no definite melting point,

While the tapo remains intact, ita tensile strength falls at high temperature but the limiting uso temperature is of the order of 130 deg. compared with 70 deg. for unirradiated tape.

The tape can be elastically deformed at temperatures above 100 deg. Centigrade and retains the now shape after cooling. Supsequent reheating will cause It to revert to its original shape. This property is utilised in encapsulating variety of irradiat ed tape, which may be caused to shrink and self-seal by heating after application to give a thick coherent protective sheath. -*
