Another problem concerns the installation of the transmission cable between studios and transmitter. This will be accomplished by a specially adapted cable with special terminal equipment necessitated by the alternative systems of positive or negative control which require different character¬ istics in the transmission lines leading from the studios.
The equipment will include a ’’monitoring set", cor¬ responding to a control station on a broadcasting or long¬ distance telephone circuit. This will enable a technical operator to have full control, and to know at all times just what quality of television broadcast is going out "on the air." The audible portion of the programs will go out from a regu¬ lar P.T.T, broadcasting station. Programs will be produced from two studios, situated in the Radio Building of the Exhibi¬ tion and the Post Office Building.
Although the P.T.T. has been broadcasting an hour’s television crogram daily from the Eiffel Tower since December, 1935, with encouraging results, it was felt by technical experts of the Ministry that orogress had been such as to warrant the substitution of a more modern and powerful installa¬ tion. Thus the Eiffel Tower, whose career began with the Exhibition of 1889, is to play a leading part in one of the most modern features of the 1937 Exhibition.
The contract just signed with Le Materiel Telephonique, in whose laboratories the equipment has been developed after two years' research, specifies that the new station shall be ready for service, with reduced power, by July 1 next, operating with full power by the Autumn.
