Significance of Television

AN instructive address on television given at Buenos Aires last year by Mr. W. E. Tremain, chairman of the Argentine Centre of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, is published in the May issue of the Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. Mr. Tremain begins by saying that the more we study recent developments in television, the more we are forced to realize that high-definition television is one of the outstanding scientific and engineering achievements of our time. In August 1936, the Alexandra Palace transmitter in north London was in full operation, giving the first public television service in the world. On May 12, 1937, the Coronation procession was televized with much success. It was the first outside television exhibition of importance. In conclusion, Mr. Tremain points out that television is destined to play in the future a leading part both as a means of communication and as a means of instruction. When planning for the future, it is important to bear this in mind. In England, as a result of pressure both from the cinema and radio industries, the experimental work being conducted for the purpose of extending the television service in the provinces was expedited. If a definite decision be taken with this end in view, we can look forward hopefully to it giving much direct employment in happier times.
