ALL " ABOUT A SNAG-FREE HOME TALKIE.

נi

Among the most uncannily fascinating things you could ever imagino are Home Talkies; minintures of the real thing enacted, before you in the peace and comfort of your own home.

The screens usually used measure about 4 feet by 3 feet, and the pictures are every bit as And, curiously enough, one bright and clear as those projected on professional silver screens. does not find it unnatural that the necessarily smaller figures retain normal spooch characteris Lics. As a matter of fact, it is true to say that the dramatic value is enhanced by this.

In view all this with a certain amount of satisfaction for it is no exaggeration to claim that my own "Radioscope ""was the seed out of which all theas developments have grown. There may be same readéra who have concluded that the "Radioscope has died the death of many other inventions. But that is.lar, very far from being the case.

But I'll tell you exactly what has happened. I invented and patented the Radioscope " Home Talkie two or three years ago. Those of you who remember it will have gathered that it was a method of electrically coupling an ordinary small cinema projector (such as can bo bought for six or seven pounds)

As you can no doubt guess, quite a fair proportion of the two years I have referred to have been spent in the preparation and pursuance of all these patents.

And Dr. Roberts has received numerous applications for manufae turing licences from all parts of the world.

There is plenty of practical proof of his enthusiasm, scientific know- ledge, wide experienes and powers of concentration in his wonderful

little device. Though I say no to the detriment of my own invention,

consider it the ultimate in sim- plicity and technical efficiency. I

can visualise nothing that could possibly rival it.

But I'll tell you all about, and you will then be able to see for yourselves what this thing is that causes me to writhe at the com- parative clumsiness of my original arrangementi

In the first place, I must point out that the several other systems

of Home Talkies in existence com- prise moderately complicated out- fits, generally consisting of com- bined radio-gram projectors in ex- pensive cabinets and ranging in price around about one hundred guineas. And there is invariably a Į turntable driven by the projector
