What is transmitted are electrical impulses. This means that a picture has to be changed into electrical impulses at one end and those electrical impulses changed back into a picture at the other end.

The electrons are collected on a target plate. In the camera tube, at the other end from the target plate, there is an electron gun that throws a beam on the target plate. This beam is a "scanning" beam; it sweeps back and forth in 525 lines across the target plate so that it covers the entire surface 30 times in one second. The beam that bounces back is changed 'U I S. I 1 I FRANK AND ERNEST m A tube. This gun sends out a beam that goes back and forth across your screen. Your screen has 525 lines and the beam scans every other line, then makes another trip to scan the remaining lines. It covers the screen 30 times in a second also. The screen is covered with phospher, which gives off light when struck by the electron beam, and so you get the same image that was sent out by the original camera beam. The electrical impulses vary in exactly the same way as originally, and produce the same light and dark on your screen that the camera saw.

The return beam is sometimes strong, sometimes weak, according to the image on the target plate. The return beam, which is in the form of electrical impulses, goes to an amplifier; then to the transmitting tower of the TV station and is sent out. At the receiving end, these impulses are picked up by your antenna, go into an amplifier in your set, and are sent to an electron gun in your TV picture nnnnnmi By Bob Thaves 5-- Z.
