Show TELEPHOTOGRAPHY The first advertisement ever flashed flash-ed across the continent from the Pacific Pa-cific to Atlantic coast by the newly invented telephotography process, was received in New York recently when the complete layout and text for an advertisement for the California Cali-fornia Pear Growers Association was wired fro San Francisco to New York in seven minutes. The transmission was made over telephone lines from a photographic negative. This is just another tribute to the scientific progress constantly made by private industry in America, in the interest of the public service. While the rest of the world is talking about getting telephones, there is one for almost every home in this land and our own American telephone system has progressed a step farther and is actually reproducing photo-praphs photo-praphs over its telephone wires almost al-most instantaneously. Is it any wonder that other countries coun-tries turn to the United States for help in developing their telephone systems ? |
