348 C. FRANCIS JENKINS Such a receiver-projector will ultimately enable the producer to distribute motion pictures to the theaters by radio instead of film, doing away with the present profit-consuming film exchange. A transmitter is also made on this same principle, in which light sensitive elements are substituted for the lamp elements in the receiver. I am confident this principle, broadly illustrated and first described by me in The Electric Engineer, of July 25, 1894, will ultimately be universally adopted. I am encouraged in this belief because the Patent Office has officially declared eleven other inventors to be in interference with my application.
