We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Twenty-eight The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER Television How to Receive Don Lee Television Images March, 1934 L2 VT1 L2 VT1 L2 VT1 L2 HE Don Lee television transmitter, W6XS, transmits television images on a carrier frequency of 2800 kilocycles (107 meters) nightly, except Sunday, from 7 to 9 P. M., and Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9 to 11 A. M. Pacific Standard Time; and W6XAO on 44,500 kilocycles (6-_>4 meters) nightly, except Sunday, from 7 to 9 P. M. and Monday morning from 9 to 11 A. M.; on 66,750 kilocycles (4*/> meters) on Wednesday morning from 9 to 11 A. M.; and on 49,400 kilocycles (6 meters) on Friday morning from 9 to 1 1 A. M. RECEIVER The receiver for tuning in W6XS or W6XAO should tune hroadly. It should pass a band 100 kilocycles wide. This can be accomplished by the use of closely coupled radio-frequency transformers ; both primary and secondary wound on the same form and separated by only 1/32 of an inch. The audio amplifier should be resistance coupled and capable of passing frequencies up to 50,000 kilocycles. "Positive" images are transmitted ; high light intensity in the image corresponding to a high radio frequency output of the transmitters. They are correctly received by a receiver with "C" bias detector and two stages of resistance coupled audio amplification, with a neon lamp directly in the last tube plate circuit; or with "C" bias detector and one state of amplification for a cathode ray tube. SCANNING DISK The Don Lee television transmitters, W6XS and W6XAO, operate simultaneously, and transmit 80 line single spiral images, repeated 15 times per second, scanned from left to right and top to bottom. An inexpensive scanning disk for reproducing these images can be made as follows: On a disk of cardboard or aluminum two feet in diameter, a circle of exactly 11^4 inches radius is drawn, and divided around its circumference into eighty equal parts. This corresponds to each Al/2 degrees. Radial lines are drawn from each of these divisions to the center of the disk. A small hole, fifteen thousandths of an inch in diameter, is punched or drilled at the intersection of the circle and any one of the radial lines. With cardboard, the hole can be made by pushing a common pin through the disk until one-sixteenth of an inch of the point projects on the further side. The next hole is punched on the next radial line in a counter-clockwise A k ^ ROY DAVIDGE |^ A FILM LABORATORIES ^ A k Jt An Exclusive "Daily" Laboratory |L A k.
