1948 THEATER TELEVISION IN ENGLAND 133 ACTUALITY PICK-UP. THEATRE PROJECTION. Fig. 3 — Delayed large-screen projection by the intermediate film process. Television picture recorded on film at A. Film processed and dried at B. Film projected by normal projector at C. Delay, 5 minutes. mirror system to the full cinema screen size. This problem of the use of one or other of these methods, or of both of them, still exists today. First let us deal with the prewar studies of the intermediate film process, which was developed both in Britain and Germany, and demonstrated to theater audiences in 1935. This has the advantage that it is possible to provide the normal standard of brightness on the theater screen, because the processed film passes through a standard projector. The degree of definition achieved was reasonably good, but the method proved to be somewhat expensive, because of the high film costs incurred; and the attempt by our associated company, Fernseh A. G. in Berlin, to use a continuous loop of film, which was cleaned and resensitized in a continuous process in the intermediate film projector, was not attended with success. The 60-second delay in reproduction, due to the time of processing of the film, was not regarded as a serious defect. Such equipment in practice, however, needed a very high degree of supervision, and the maintenance of the ACTUALITY PICK-UP. THEATRE PROJECTION.
