Show -:- News From The County Seat -:- PHILO FARNS WORTH IMPROVES TELEVISION Recognition for a great achievement in the world of invention has come to a former Beaver man, Philo Farns- I worth, Jr. j A picture of Mt. Farnsworth, graduate gradu-ate of Brigham Young University, shows him with his appartus which will extend sight over great distances. Mr. Farnsworth, the papers stated, has been besieged with offers from large corporations as a result of his invention of television tubes- His name and invention are talked of in every electrical research laboratory of the country. Fame has come after intensive study and after overcoming overcom-ing many handicaps. W. W. Crocker and Roy N. Bishop, j Sr.n Francisco bankers, had faith in him anil furnished the capital for I the experiments. As a result he has been able to perfect a television device j declared superior to others. The essentially new principle in the invention is the elimination of moving parts. In place of the whirling disc used by eastern stations in broadcasting pictures, Mr. Farnsworth uses an alternating al-ternating current. The current can alternate so much faster than a disc can whirl that the images transmitted transmit-ted are much clearer. The actual picture is shown on a I little screen perhaps an inch and a ! half square. In a darkened room it I gleams a bright blue. |
