A nurse at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, is coached by an RCA technician during rehearsal for the inter-city medical TV demonstration. lustrate the effectiveness of compatible color TV in dis- seminating pathological information and techniques over distances, and in conducting important pathological conferences between individuals and groups in widely separated locations. The first of these included a pickup from the Balti- more studio, where Brig. General Elbert DeCoursey, Director of the AFIP, introduced a special demonstra- tion for observation by members of his staff in Wash- ington. This consisted of the showing in color of special techniques and procedures in which color is an important factor. A color film of unusual pathological significance also was transmitted. The final presentation, conducted by Dr. Lorenz E. Zimmerman, Chief of the Ophthalmic Pathology Branch of the AFIP, represented a seminar for participation by distant audiences — in this case a group of pathologists of the Veterans Administration and the three armed services in Baltimore and Philadelphia. Dr. Zimmerman showed a series of color microscopic slides and con- ducted a complete conference with the help of the color TV system. Color TV Ready to Serve Medicine, Says Goldsmith Dr. Alfred N. Goldsmith, pioneer electronics engi- neer and inventor, who participated in the Washington symposium, observed at the end of the demonstration that color television is now ready to serve the medical profession in many ways. "This inter-city presentation, which so effectively brought pathologists together for the first time through the use of color television, should prove to be an eye- opener for the entire medical profession," Dr. Goldsmith said. "In effect, RCA has shown that color television, operating on standards already approved by the govern- ment, can and will give the medical profession's uni- versities, lecture halls, consultation rooms, clinics and laboratories a scope as wide as the country, and can provide to all of these an interconnection with the im- mediacy of light itself." Dr. Goldsmith urged the standardization of a medical color TV system, emphasizing that the system adopted for medical purposes should be identical with the ap- proved standards of compatible, simultaneous color television now bringing this new service to the public through broadcasting. New Flush-Mounted Window Units Feature RCA Air Conditioner Line A new series of flush-mounted window models is the main feature of the 1955 line of RCA room air conditioners, for which a nation-wide advertising cam- paign was launched in early March. The flush-mounted units include four newly-designed models known as the Super Series and ranging from •/2-ton to li/2-ton capacities. The 1.4-ton model is shown in the picture at the right. Details of the new models were disclosed by John W. Craig, Vice-President and General Manager, RCA Victor Home Appliance Division. He emphasized that all of the Super units offer a newly incorporated two- speed cooling system employing twin fans to provide more positive air flow and greater ventilation capacity. An automatic thermostat for constant cooling tempera- ture control is also incorporated as standard equipment in the series, he said. RADIO AGE 25
