COLOR TELEVISION
Following the decision of the United States Supreme Court on May 28, upholding the authority of the FCC to approve a non-compatible color television system, the Radio Corporation of America issued the following statement:
"Now that the Supreme Court has made its decision, RCA will go a-j j head with public demonstration of its improved compatible all-electronic system of color television.
"Everyone concedes that a compatible system is more in the public interest than a non-compatible system.
"At the time the FCC made its decision last year, it took the pos-* ition that there was no satisfactory compatible system. Therefore it' adopted the less desirable non-compatible system.
"RCA has developed a fully compatible, all-electronic color system which provides reception of color broadcasts in black and white on thq nearly 13 million existing sets without any change whatever.
"Present set owners cannot receive any picture whatever from the I non-compatible color system without buying an expensive adapter. Even with such an adapter they would only receive a black and white picture degraded in quality.
"To receive color they would also need to buy an expensive and cumbersome converter.
"Approval of the compatible system would save present set owners | about a billion dollars and would avoid waste of material and labor, which it is vital to conserve in these critical times. "
Information on how to design and produce the RCA tri-color television picture tube, as used in the all electronic fully compatible color television system developed by RCA, was turned over to virtually the entire radio-television manufacturing industry at a technical symposium sponsored by the Radio Corporation of American on June 19 and 2 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
Fulfilling a promise maae to the industry on March 30, 1950, RCA invited representatives of 231 television receiver and tube manufact , urers to the symposium. RCA's plans for immediately making available sample tri-color tubes and associated components for the manufacturers use in laboratory work, were announced during the two-day meeting.
