Another very important. improvement has been made which affects the lighting arrangements. Until recently, it was necessary to play a very strong light on the object to be transmitted in order to obtain a satisfactory result. These strong lights did not con- duce to the comfort of the people whose portraits were being trans mitted, and it has now been found possible to use a number of lampa glowing feebly.

Great hopes of carly success were entertained by Mr. Baird at an interview with a Morving: Post representative. “Things"; "have moved fairly fast," he said, feince the inception of Television Ltd., and there seem to be distinct pos- sibilities of a three-coldur trans mission in the near future since Ihave already seeured definite re sults in this direction. The ro moval of the bright lights was d certain step towards perfection; and there is now no reason why out-of-door scenes should not be transmitted, because the sun's rays are far more suitable for my

nurposes."

The general theory of television is the projection of an image of the object to be transmitted in piecemeal fashion upon a light sensitive appliance Or more simply, the image is divided int a large number of small areas, and each area ng it falls on the light
