sive plans for televising various events on the grounds for home reception.
Two RCA-NBC telemobiles have been on the site several months conducting experimental tests.
RCA Displays
Now that the scope and effectiveness of the television presentation is to be greatly increased, four of RCA's six rooms are to be used for other displays, and the remaining two are to be designated as the Radio Living Room of Tomorrow and the Radio Living Room of Today.
The Radio Living Room of Tomorrow will feature one of the most unusual devices so far designed by the radio industry, a single cabinet which will contain receivers for television, facsimile and sound broadcasting, the mechanism for phonograph recording and record playing. This device is thought to be several years in advance of present-day practicalities.
The Radio Living Room of Today will also present the above features, but all in separate cabinets such as those which are available now.
Tele Programs
Television programs, which will be viewed on many receivers to be located in the RCA exhibit building, will originate from three sources: The NBC-television studios in Radio City, New York, the RCA-NBC Telemobile Unit and Motion Pictures.
The Columbia Broadcasting System is rushing to completion its television transmitter in the Chrysler Tower and has elaborate telecasting plans for the Fair. CBS also intends to pick up the sight
and sound of current events on the grounds and flash them to the receiving sets of its audience. Columbia Broadcasting System will spend over $1,500,000 on its television plans during the 1939-1940 period.
G. E. Displays
General Electric is building a television studio in its big coppersheathed building where visitors may have their features televised, and act before the camera. These pictures will be shown on a dozen receivers in the studio, but they will not travel beyond the walls, according to present plans. The subject, however, will be able to take home a photograph of his televised image. General Electric expects to be able to familiarize the public with the art through its static exhibits of television equipment, and its demonstration of how television operates from the pickup of the image to reception of the image in the home. General Electric engineers were among the first in the world to demonstrate television to a large audience, Dr. E. F. W. Alexanderson, who has contributed so materially to radio development, being one of its pioneers.
Westinghouse has not made public its plans for television at the Fair. They will exhibit a full line of television apparatus as well as short-wave radio equipment for police, airplane, naval and amateur stations.
