The American public was led to believe that itwas just round the corner. As a result, the sales of black andwhite receivers dropped considerably and several of the largecompanies were therefore forced to cut their prices below costSome of the large firms, suchin order to clear their stocks.as Columbia and Raytheon, decided to cease manufacture oftelevision receivers, and they disposed of their stocks at lowOther manufacturers were forced to follow suit. Atprices.the same time, R.C.A. was indulging in an intensive campaignof propaganda on colour television, and its associated network,N.B.C, was putting out three hours of colour programmes aday. As a result, the American public presumed that colour television was near and they declined to buy black and white receivers.As all manufacturers had cut the prices of black and whitereceivers, a price level was established for that type which wasnot really representative of the true value, and so there is agreat disparity between the market price of a black and whitereceiver and a colour receiver, the former costing about 160The American public isdollars and the latter 500 dollars.therefore not prepared to pay what it wrongly considers to betoo high a price for colour TV.The inevitable result is that there is now only one manufacturerin the market, R.C.A. , which manufactured only 102.000 coloursets last yearyet three years ago, SarnolT publicly stated thathe had budgeted for an annua! production during last year of overIt is not surprising, therefore,6 million colour TV receiversthat the American television industry is in a very bad way.Those who have tried to receive the colour television programmeson black and white receivers, especially those a long way fromthe transmitter, complain of the poor quality and that theEquafly, reception ofpictures are full of dots and distortion.black and white transmissions on a colour set is inferior. It iswell-known that colour television receivers arc troublesome andrequire a great deal of servicing, and the service engineers donot exist in sufficient numbers. This country can take a lessonfrom America in this respect and manufacturers should ceaseto talk airily about colour television being round the corner, ifthey do not wish to duplicate the American experience.Although colour television is inevitable it will be some yearsbefore it has been brought to the stage where it possessesentertainment value, and the technique at present will needconsiderable improvement possibly an entirelv new systemresult;!—'F.

An electrical discharge passed throughthe tube strips away some of the outer electronsfrom each atom of neon gas. Owing to the loss ofnegatively charged electrons, each atom of neon gasshows a positive charge and it is called an *' ion,"the electron-stripping process 10 which it has beensubjected being termed " lonisation."Ions are electrically conductive. Hence, when theyare present in comparatively small numbers within agas discharge tube, they allow the current to passand they give off a charact eristic glow. The glow ofelectrically excited neon ions is, as is well known,a pinkish-orange shade.Asystem of exploration of the scene or imagewhich complete scanning is accomplished in twoor more operations, the strips of scanning lieldsuccessively traversed in the course of one operationnot being contiguous.

The image is correctly "framed"by the manipulation of a small control which influencesthe synchronising gear of the receiver.Name given to the minute areas into whi:hpicture, portrait, or scene which is to be televisedParabolic Reflectorsignal current.Name given to a light reflector, usually of highlypolished metal, which, being shaped to a paraboliccurve (a parabola is the section of a cone cut parallelto one of its sloping sides) causes a beam of parallelrays to be reflected from an illuminating sourceplaced in the focus of the reflector.Parabolic reflectors are frequently meiforobtaining strong beams of parallel, light rays inoptica! experiments connectedwith illuminatingandlight-projecting matters.Parallel 'RaysLight rays which travel parallel to one another, as,for instance, the light rays reflected from a parabolicreflector.Light rays coming from a very distantobject, such as the sun, are always parallel from apractical standpoint, although, in strictest truth, iheyare very slightly divergent.Persistence of VisionWhenlight rays impinge upon the retina of the eyeimpression which they make does not ceaseimmediately the light rays stop. On the contrary,it persists for an appreciable time afterwards,thisMeffect being known aspersistence of vision," or" visual persistence."It is upon this " lag of the retina," as persistenceof vision is sometimes called, that we are able to buildup a reproduction of motion on the television orcinema screen, in both instances a series of successivepictures (each differing slightly from the precedingone) being formed or thrown on a screen so rapidlythat the eye is not able to get rid of the impressionmade by the one picture or image before the next onethearrives.orPicture FrequencyThe number of complete images transmitted persecond.PolarisationApplied to light rays the term denotes the cullingoff of all the rays in a beam of light except thosewhich vibrate in one plane. Light consisting of theseone-plane vibrations is said to be '* polarised " and,in such a condition, it possesses peculiar propertiesof its own. Light rays are usually polarised bypassing them through certain crystals, such as IcelandSpar, which effect the process automatically.Positiveimage.Plioto-electric CellA light-sensitive device which,by emitting a streamof electrons under the influence of light rays and inproportion to the amount of light falling upon it,enables light to be turned into electricity.Photo-electric cells are of two kinds, viz., theEmission type and the Photronic or self-generatingtype.Photo-electronsName sometimes applied *o the stream of electronswhich are liberated from certain bodies under theinfluence of light.Photo-electric cells operate in virtue of the presencewithin them of a stream of photo-electrons wheneverthey are illuminated by light rays.ImageThe imageas it is normally seen on a televisionscreen.photograph or any other type of illusltion is a positive image, the lights and shades of iibeing a true or approximate reproduction of (hoseof the original.positive image is, as its naq&eimplies, the opposite to a negative image.AIAPrimary CurrentA term used in connection with gas-filled pho soelectric cells to signify the actual minute current setup by the impact of light upon the sensitive cathodeof the gas-filledcell.PrismA triangular-shaped piece of glass or other transparent material used in practical optical work forbending rays of light through a right-angle, and alsoin the spectroscope, for spl tiling up rays of tight intotheirAdetermined by the instantaneous value of iheisPtiasc Shiftcondition in television reception in which, owingto stray circuit capacities in the receiver, the fluctuations in voltage do not keep in step with thoseoriginally transmitted, particularly at high and at lowfrequencies.
