FILED FOR USE IN THE FUTURE

A demonstration of a method of aling "televised", pictures for fu- ture release by television when de- sired, was demonstrated at the Al- exandra Palace recently. The ap- paratus by which this is accom- plished is the Baird Intermediate Film System, states a London Jour- nal.

One of the biggest problems the EBC have to face is the nigh COGL of good television program- ces. By means of the new system repetitions of outstanding items can be given at negligible cost.
