     130                 <br />The following text is cited from an unknown source from about 1930. It shows up

     134              <blockquote>
     135                Who hasn't felt, when listening to a thrilling wireless transmission
     136                from the opera or when enjoying a radio play, the wish to experience
     137                such a feat not only with one's ears, but also with one's eyes? How
     138                often have you regretted to rely solely on your own imagination rather
     139                than being able to actually see the presentations which sound so
     140                natural in your ears?
     141                The realisation of these aspirations, which would be possible by
     142                distance cinema, has not only failed due to the technical complexities
     143                of the problems, but especially because of the enormous costs caused
     144                by such an equipment.
     145                It is now a truly invaluable achievement that every owner of a good
     146                wireless apparatus has been put into a position to call something his
     147                own, which is at least a preliminary stage of a distance cinema, namely
     148                a radiophoto receiver, providing beautiful and steady images out of the
     149                ether.
     150                In the future, broadcasting stations will be able to illustrate their
     151                acoustic transmissions. Scenic images of public performances, portraits
     152                of artists, comments on lectures, illustrations of daily reports,
     153                sketches of sporting events, weather charts, public quizzes and many
     154              </blockquote>
     155            </div>
     156            <div class="rightcol">
     157              <blockquote>
     158                other such events can be made an issue of broadcasting in a simple way.
     159                All owners of a suitable apparatus can &ndash; without previous technical
     160                knowledge and without a dark room &ndash; receive these images, which
     161                will appear in front of your eyes in brilliant brown colour in a matter
     162                of minutes and which will be ready in stable conditions immediately.
     163                The simple appliance providing such miracles was quietly developed to
     164                such a perfection by an English inventor, Captain Otho Fulton, and within
     165                a short period of time regular image broadcasting will be carried out
     166                in most European countries, so that the owner of a "Fultograph" &ndash;
     167                this is how Fulton called his image receiver &ndash; will be able to
     168                receive an international image broadcasting programme in his own home.
     169                The images are true to the originals, distinct and pleasant to watch,
     170                and apart from that of particular artistic efficacy because of their
     171                special granularity.
     172                It takes 3 to 5 minutes to transmit a picture in the format of 9 to
     173                12 centimetres.

     175               <p>The rotating roll, which had been coated with chemically preperated paper, was spirally
    129176                 scanned by an attached "pen" (tabluator). In this way an electric current could flow
    130177                 from the pen over the paper to the roll in the rythm of the picture informations. That way, the
    131178                 image developed by electrolysis.</p>
