THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON PACE SEVEN PROGRESS MADE WITH NEW TELEVISION SYSTEM SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1929 ENGINEERS CUT SCANNING DISK REQUIREMENTS Chicago (Pi Two Chicago radio engineer, have developed an ex perimental television system requir ing only about hall the usnml wave band formerly believed necessary for good radio picture transmission and reception. The trick' ha been U alter the arrangement of scanning disk holes. Prof. L. P. Garner and U. A. Sana bria of the Western Television cor poration are the engineers. A 100-kilocycle frequency channel generaly has been used in trans mitting clear Images. Such a band is large enough to accommodate ten broadcast stations. The scanning system used by Gar ner and Sanabria is of the common disk, muMplo-piraI aperture type. A metal platewtth a number of tiny holes revolves rapidly before a mo vie -Dro lector lamp. The subject to be broadcast is in the path of the interrupted beam, and the li?ht is then reflected to photo-electric cells, which make an electrical copy or the rays. "One fundamental difference ol our system," explains Garner, "is that we need only 45 line elements instead of SO per picture. This re duces the number of Impulses and the width of the wave chaunel to 81 kilocycles. Through use of the new principle onlv 15 frames or pictures per sec ond need be transmitted, resulting in a maximum wavebaund of less than 61 kilocycles. This new principle is incorpor ated in the analyzing mechanism and consists in interposing at the receiver several partial frames in more rapid succession than a com plete frame in other systems. The eye is able to retain and combine these rapidly recurring partial frames into a smooth picture with no noticeable flicker. The device actually produces picture by a sort of weaving process which also serves still further to re duce the frequency necessary. "The action is to interpose or mix the electrical impulses, thereby al lowing no one frequency to endure for a period longer th?n the time required for the scanning spot to move across the scanned iieiu once, "This mixing of frequencies re duces grestly the amount of inter ference between stations. Our tel e vis ion signals tune sharper on i regular broadcast receiver than most voice stations. "We have had excellent results using a stock, commercial AC re ceiver, feeding into a television re producer containing a neon glow' lamp of unusual design." BRIDGE CLUBS GUEST AT WOODBURN HOMES Woodburn Mrs. E. J. Hodste en tertained the Smart Set bridge club and several additional guests at a bridge luncheon Friday after noon at her home on Corby street.

E. 15 utter field Rudy Vallee, a down east college boy. whose crooning radio voice is to be heard in the talking movies along with pose innumerable. Is back with his first love. That first love Is. cf course, the radio. It was via the loudspeaker that his fair followers got their op portunity to respond to the par ticular appeal of his singing and speaking voice.

His introduction to New York li'teners was on WMCA Later NBC took him over, and he quickly was put on the chain with his orchestra. The country at large was Just as receptive as the bir city. The call of Hollywood followed ? a matter of couse. If his radio listeners were legion, movie ma?, nates figured that these who want ed to see him by the ma?Ic of the screen would pack the theater.

For many years, engineers have measured the tone-fidelity of radio sell by charts and curves In the laboratory. Now Powel Crosley, Jr., has carried his search for finer tone quality a step beyond the laboratory A STEP FURTHER THAN RADIO HAS EVER GONE BEFORE! Crosley radio Is now regularly subjected to the expert tone scrutiny of America's famous musical artists .... Efrem Zim ballst, Edith Mason. Alma Cluck, George Gershwin and others. For this purpose. Crosley receiving sets are placed in the homes of these artists in all parts of the country. Programs are broadcast. Crosley radio sets receive them. The artists "listen In." They com ment, advise, give Crosley engineers the Invaluable benefit of their opinion , .. UNDER THEIR GUIDANCE IMPROVEMENTS ARE CONSTANT LY BEING MADE IN CROSLEY SETS. Thus the tcne quality of Crosley Radio Is developed to win the approval of the most discriminating ears. Thus Is achieved a mar velous richness, fullness and naturalness of tone that mechanical tests alone could never attain. This beautiful tone, developed to the highest technical degree In the laboratory, then "ear ttsted" by Ameri-a'a foremost artists. Is EXCLUSIVE with Crosley. The comparison of this new "tone tested" Crosley Is truly amaz ing when It comes to distance, selectivity and tone quality.

NEW METAL IN TUBES REDUCES THEIR EXPENSE Washlngtotn CP) Development of an inexpensive alloy known as konel, which can be used instead of platinum In filaments for radio tubes, has been reported to the United States Bureau of Mines. The new metal was developed by Dr. E. P. Lowry of the West ing house Electric company and is already resuming in a material sav ings in the manufacture of tubes, the report says. Current market prices for platinum are about (rBO an ounce. Konel costs only a few dollars a pound to produce, it is saiad. According to the report, tubes with filaments made of konel last about ten times as long as other filaments and may be operated 173 degrees colder than tubes with platinum filaments but with the same emission, thus giving better reception resultta for listeners. The bureau says that reports from the radio Industry Indicate apprehension among tube manu facturers of a threatened shortage of ickeL The bureau states that while there may be a "temporary exi gency" in which refining of the metal lags behind the current de mand, the reserves in the ground are adequate to care for the nor mal demands of the radio indust- try for years to come.
