| Title | Letter from [Alexandre Henri Georges] Dauvillier, Laboratoire de Recherches Physiques sur les Rayons X, 12 Rue Lord-Byron 8e [Arrondisement], to [Alan Archibald Campbell Swinton] |
| Creator | Dauvillier; Alexandre Henri Georges (1892-1979); physicist |
| Date | 4 June 1929 |
| Description | Attached is a typewritten translation of the letter:
On receipt of your letter I looked up the photograph which I have of the Nipkow invention. It was, indeed, patented in Germany on the 6th January, 1884.
You perhaps know that there has recently been formed in France a Television Society. Its publication "Television" is up to now not very satisfactory. I am rather sceptical as to the future of such a body, which seems to me rather premature. French businessmen still do not seem to me to interest themselves in the practical realisation of television. I myself um still occupied with its application to the X-Rays.
I am sorry not to have had the opportunity of seeing you in Paris, and that you are ill. As for myself, my health is very 800d. Last year I had an interesting journey in connection with the Stockholm International Radiological Congress. |
