Television Note

In both the RCA-Victor and Farnsworth television systems, unquestioned leaders in this science which shows no serious signs yet of becoming an industry, the pictures are electronically scanned from top to bottom in a series of close-packed horizontal lines. The greater the number of lines, the clearer the picture. Last week RCA-Victor announced it was upping its "definition" from 343 lines to 441. This means that 30% clearer images can be had on a screen the same size as before, or that pictures of the same clarity as before can be had on a screen 30% larger.

Farnsworth upped its definition from 343 lines to 441 some months ago. Neither company yet has any receiving sets for sale.
