Broadcasting Telecasting (Apr - June 1951)

Advertisement From where I sit 6u Joe Marsh You've Got To Hand It To Sandy Sandy Johnson's wife "Tiny" suddenly asks him at breakfast the other morning "Why don't you build me some bluebird houses?" "What for?" asks Sandy. "Why for bluebirds, of course," says Tiny. "We always had 'em at home when I was a girl. May sound silly— but I sorta miss 'em." Well, I know how busy Sandy's been lately and the thought of taking time out to build birdhouses could have made a lot of men blow their top. But not Sandy. He says, "No, Tiny. It doesn't sound silly. I think it's a wonderful idea — we're going to have bluebirds — and I'm starting on some birdhouses tonight." From where I sit, we could do with more understanding people like Sandy — and Tiny, too. He respects her likings, and she respects his. He likes a temperate glass of beer now and then — and although Tiny sticks to coffee, whatever Sandy likes is O.K. with her. They live and let live — and that's why they live so happily.

FIVE Federal Telecommunications products of interest to television broadcasters are on display at the convention. The Federal Television Flying Spot Scanners, FTL-35A (Single) and FTL-82A (Dual), are described as a new method to convert slide information to a video signal suitable for TV broadcasting. They produce "composite picture signals in accordance with RTMA standards from subject material on 2" by 2" slides." The Federal Television Picture Monitor, FTL-84A, is designed to permit a TV station "to monitor video signals with full assurance that the monitor is not 'cutting into' the picture signal resolution." This convention is the FTL-84A's first public unveiling. A synchronizing generator, FTL-63A, is on display, incorporating "basically new design features contributing to exceedingly stable operation and providing valuable aids to station operation and maintenance." Also on view are sound channel equipment, FTL-38A, and a TV UHF radio relay link, FTL-27A, eliminating need for leased high-quality telephone circuits. Attending Federal's booth at the convention are T. H. Clark, in charge of engineering services; M. Silver and S. Metzger, department heads; A. J. Baracket and N. Gottfried, project engineers, and J.
