FINCH M FIRST in FACSIMILE and proven leader ship I The SYSTEM is PROVEDSTATIONS are ON THE AIRThe MARKET is READY MANUFACTURING BROADCASTING MERCHANDISING Under license by Finch Telecommunication Laboratories, Inc. FI7VCH Firsts FIRST to open the NEW field for HOME and NETWORK facsimile broadcasting. FIRST system placed in actual operation by a MAJORITY of the MAJOR facsimile broadcasting stations. FIRST to PERFECT automatic, FULLY VISIBLE, CONTINUOUS-FEED HOME RECORDERS requiring neither liquids nor carbon transfer sheets. FIRST and only company to DEVELOP an AUTOMATIC, SELF SYNCHRONIZING METHOD which permits home facsimile recording in ALL AC or DC POWER AREAS or for BATTERY OPERATION. FIRST to OPEN the NEW field for facsimile broadcasting in AIRCRAFT, POLICE and OTHER MOBILE SERVICES. Facsimile is HERE . . . NOW! and FINCH is the Dominant System! The FINCH FACSIMILE SYSTEM is the choice of the nation's leading broadcasters, communication companies, manufacturers and foreign governments. They prefer it — and pay a premium to get it. One reason for FINCH superiority is this: it is the only system that can be operated on ANY POWER SUPPLY— AC, DC OR BATTERY. This is due to its automatic, self-synchronizing system. The farmer with his windpower gets the same fidelity of reproduction as the city man with his house current. FINCH enables you to enter this tremendous new field — at the very start — with proven equipment. Remember, RADIO had to await the growth of broadcast stations. And TELEVISION is still awaiting actual transmission. But FACSIMILE is on the air NOW — transmitted by fifteen broadcast stations throughout the nation, using Finch equipment. Facsimile brings to the home what our great newspapers have had for years — pictures by radio. Also news bulletins, sketches, comics, advertisements — anything printable. Amazing as the progress has been, Facsimile is only on the threshold of its great place in modern life. This is the time to start — and FINCH is the system to START WITH.
