Book excerpt: Excerpt from A B C of Television, or Seeing by Radio: A Complete and Comprehensive Treatise Dealing With the Theory, Construction and Operation of Telephotographic and Television Transmitters and Receivers The least that may be said is that television is ready to court the attention of that vast army of radio experimenters who so enthusiastically mastered the mystery of communica tion without wires. To the legions of amateur pioneers, tele vision falls as a rightful heritage; it needs their patient hands and ingenious minds. Broadcasting received its original impetus from the inquisitive dabblers of 1920, who through their activity in the fabrication of home-made receivers, brought the manufacturers rushing to the public with merchandise to satisfy a theretofore undreamed-of demand. Contrary to what appears to be the public notion, television is neither involved nor complicated. Some are inclined to measure the intricacy of a machine by the marvel of its prod uct. This analysis does not always hold. It certainly does not hold in television. Living pictures, Signals or impulses are available to an ordinary radio receiver, the only accessory apparatus at present needed taking the form of a metal disc, a washing machine electric motor and a neon lamp which may be purchased from a dozen different radio manufacturers. The only remaining requisite is the zeal and love for adven tures in science-land possessed by millions of scientifically and mechanically inclined Americans.
