Excerpt from Television Present Methods of Picture Transmission
In preparing a book on Television one is confronted with the possibility of a revision before the book is oft the press. The kaleidoscopic manner in which advances are being made is, of course, responsible for this.
Nevertheless, since the authors feel that for the good of the subject a review of the field is at the moment imperative, they have undertaken this difficult task. At the outset, and during the preparation of the manuscript, they have seen clearly the reason why no one else in this country has ventured such a book to date. They have rushed in where angels fear to tread in spite of the condemnation which is likely to fall upon their heads. The mass of material which could be included in a book of this kind is enormous and we have been forced to use our best judgment as to what to leave out. There will be many to tell us that we have omitted material which ought to have been included and included other material which might well have been excluded. Our argument is that it depends upon the point of view. This, of course, necessitates an explanation of our own viewpoint. We have attempted to give a true picture of the state of television to-day and to give the reader the necessary background to enable him to begin a special study of any one feature. Our style, we hope, is also of a sufficiently popular nature to enable the layman, or the possible investor, to gain a proper perspective of the subject. The book is in no sense a compendium. We have tried to give credit where credit is due and to subdue the blatant claims of pretenders who fill the daily press with extravagant statements.
