THE MAGNIFYING POWER OF THE SPHERICAL MIRROR IS ILLUSTRATED IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH. I. G. MALOFF, RCA ENGINEER, HOLDS THE HIGH IN- TENSITY CATHODE RAY TUBE WHICH IS A PART OF THE OPTICAL SYSTEM OF THE THEATRE-TYPE TELEVISION PROJECTOR. far, most of the major develop- ments in this exciting new field have emanated from RCA plants and laboratories. Already widely demonstrated and hailed for its per- formance is RCA's experimental "auditorium-type" large-screen tele- vision equipment, projecting a 48- square-foot image on a six-by-eight foot screen. Two of the auditorium- type equipments have already been delivered to Warner Brothers and 20th Century Fox, whose engineers are experimenting under joint re- search contracts with RCA, with a view to adapting the medium to the theatre industry. Paul J. Larsen, chairman of the S.M.P.E. Committee on Television, has forecast television on theatre screens within two years, providing all elements of the film industry co- operate toward that objective. Other leaders have joined with Mr. Larsen in hailing the new medium as a vital factor in the future of the theatre industry. EMPLOYEES MAKE DOLLS FOR HOSPITAL PATIENTS Following an annual custom started nearly ten years ago, girl employees of the Executive Offices of RCA in Radio City dressed dolls, made stuffed animals, and compiled scrap books for presentation this Christmas to the child patients in Bellevue Hospital, New York City. Miss Elva A. Endres, of the RCA Treasurer's Department, who has been in charge of this activity for several years, reported that 50 em- ployees completed 82 dolls, 14 stuffed animals, 27 scrap books and 24 games for the 1947 holiday. Dr. Lauretta Bender, Senior Psychia- trist on the Bellevue staff, arranged for distribution at the hospital. [RADIO AGE 13]
