About This Book

A practical manual that presents the theory, experimental findings, and apparatus for wireless transmission of photographs. It reviews early experiments and the advantages and challenges of wireless versus cable systems, then explains transmitting and receiving equipment—covering spark gaps, stylus-type transmitters, selenium cells, cathode-ray and electrolytic receivers—and methods for synchronization and motor driving. The author outlines his telephotographic system and discusses Nernst lamps, film sensitivity, and exposure issues. Technical appendices provide procedures for preparing metal prints and guidance on lenses and optics to assist experimenters in construction, alignment, and photographic technique.

Notes

[1] These measurements only apply to a single line. Where a double line is employed the capacity is halved.

[2] See Appendix A.

[3] See Appendix B.

[4] In wireless telegraphy "arcing" is principally caused by the continuation of the supply current in the spark-gap after the capacity has been charged to a potential sufficient to break down the insulation of the gap.

[5] See Chapter V.

[6] Nernst lamps are the best to use, as they produce abundantly the blue and violet rays which have the greatest chemical effect upon a photographic film. Carbon filament lamps are very poor in this respect.

[7] A description of the apparatus required will be found in Ganot's Physics.

[8] Great care must be exercised in using this solution, as it is exceedingly poisonous.

[9] Two clocks would isochronise if their hands travelled at precisely the same rate round the dials, but would not synchronise unless they both registered the same time as well.
