DescriptionReports that various rumours are going round the newpapers with regard to the methods that Alexanderson and others have adopted for the purpose of producing electrical television but so far as he has seen, nothing at all definite has appeared apart from the statement that they use a number of different electrical frequencies with the wireless transmission employed. States that he has devoted a considerable amount of time to the consideration of possibilities of electrical television, eclosing his paper. Seeks copies of their publications on the subject. Informs of his intention of presenting a paper before the Royal Society of Arts, giving some particulars as to what has been done up to date [enclosures not present].
