Practical Television and its Problems

Abstract

THOUGH I see that it is largely taken from a foreword written by so high an authority as Sir Ambrose Fleming, I should like to put on record my strong dissent from a sentence in the review of A. Dinsdale's book “Television”, in the supplement to NATURE for Mar. 9. The statement that I object to is: “The great obstacles to radio television to great distances at present are the disturbances caused by fading, Morse signals, atmospherics, and all the other causes which mutilate the broadcasting of speech and music”.
