LEICESTER : Trocadero Nov. 2. 6 davs Book Review TELEVISION AND SHORT-WAVE HANDBOOK by F. J. Camm. George Newnes. 3s. 6d. Any work by F. J. Camm commands respect. As editor of a well-known wireless paper arid as author of books on radio construction, he has probably done more than anyone in this country to stimulate the research by amateurs which has proved so valuable in the deselopment of radio. His new book on television serves a double purpose. Those with technical knowledge who need guidance on the mechanics of set construction will find it in copious diagrams and concise specifications; while those who want a straightforward exposition of how television works without having to master the mathematical symbolism beloved of the engineer will be well served 48 by a simple and practical text, .^n excellent series, of photographs, accompanied by notes, demonstrates the various troubles likely to occur in television reception, and prescribes remedies. The book is divided into two pans. The first explains the principles of television, and the construction and operation of receivers: the second deals w ith short-wave and ultra-short-wave working, a branch of radio essential to television, and on which a great part of present research is concentrated. These sections, together with a summary of the 1935 Television Committee's Report, a list of short-wave transmitters all over the world, and a dictionary of techincal terms, make a useful and sensible guide to a complex subject.
