Television is just around the corner Now, as a matter of fact, television is really here, and this is especially so as far as the amateur experimenter is concerned. As a token of the truth of this statement, I submit that there are at the present time at least 35 licensed telecasting stations in the United States, of which about 12 are already active, and 10 or 12 hi other countries. These stations send out television programs nightly while thousands of lookers-in view the reproduced images that come to them on the transcendental wings of short electric waves. Nearly all these stations also broadcast the voices of the artists who are being televised, and this adds mightily to the pleasure of those who are looking-in at the images. These sight programs, as they are called, are usually sent out on a shorter wave length than the sound programs which accompany them, and, it follows, they are telecasted and broadcasted by independent transmitters. An exception to the above rule is the station W2XAB, of New York, which sends sight on 107 meters, and whose cooperative station W2XE sends sound on 49 meters.
