- 3 * TV Technical Tips No. 7 (April, 1955) Cecil S. Bidlack, NAEB TV Engineer Deadline for copy for the April Newsletter passed last week while the NAEB TV Engineer was in New York attending the 1955 IRE Convention. As we write this on our return to the office (March 28), we*re not sure whether these engineering notes will be stapled with the rest of the Newsletter or just be mailed in the same en¬ velope. At any rate, we hate to spoil our record and-miss an issue of the Newsletter even though the "vital” information given in this column might not be raissecfl So “ if this seems like an afterthought, it*s just that this month the deadline meant just that, especially since ”Roz" Biason was leaving us for the Far East on the dead¬ line date. This column wishes her a good trip, the best of luck and happiness in her new position. It isn*t exactly news, but the announcement of the 1955 TV Engineering Workshop was mailed March 25. We hope we missed no one who would be interested in attending this year. Just as a reminder, the date is September 12-16 and the place is WKAR-TV in East Lansing, Michigan. If you didn*t see the announcement of the Workshop, drop us a card at NAEB Headquarters and we *11 see that you receive a copy. Speaking of the Workshop, our trip to the IRE Convention provided an oppor¬ tunity to discuss the program of the Workshop informally with representatives of equipment manufacturers. To date, all we have talked with have assured us of their willingness to cooperate in the 1955 TV Engineering Workshop and we expect that others will express the same willingness when contacted. Details of the program are yet to be worked out, but from the response so far, we feel that a very full and worthwhile program will result. At the Institute of Radio Engineers Convention some fifty-five sessions were held, at each of which some four or five papers were presented. Exact number in attendance is not available although some 1*0,000 were ejected to attend. Within the membership of IRE, there is a subdivision according to major interest, of 23 professional groups ranging from Aeronautical Electronics to Vehicular Communica¬ tions. Consequently at the Convention there are papers presented of interest to everyone, even to a symposium on electronic controlled space stations. Of inter¬ est to broadcast and television engineers were those sessions on video tape record¬ ing, and color television as well as one paper on a tricolor vidicon experimental camera tube for color television. There were 70U exhibits which filled the Kingsbridge Armory and overflowed into the Kingsbridge Palace nearby. All available Convention papers will be published in the 1955 Convention Record. The Convention record is published in ten parts according to subject, and will be available in June, 1955* For further informa¬ tion write The Institute of Radio Engineers, 1 East 79th Street, New York 21, N.
