RCA Television (commercial, 1939)

The sound picture you are about to see and hear comes to you through the lens and loudspeakers of the new RCA 16mm motion picture sound projector which is finding wide use by public schools for educational work, industrial sales organizations and homes.

This RCA projector and its sound equipment were developed by the same engineers responsible for the marvellous lifelike sound in the world's largest theatre, the Music Hall. RCA Photophone Sound is used in over 6,000 movie theaters in the United States and throughout the world.

Here is an actual picture of sound photographed on film through the use of the RCA Photophone Ultra-Violet Light Recording Equipment. Major movie producers in Hollywood and throughout the world use RCA Recording Equipment to photograph high fidelity sound on film.

Whenever you need any motion picture sound projection or recording equipment, look to RCA, the largest sound organization in the world. After ten years of experiment, television first shown to the public at the World's Fair now takes its place as a new American art and industry.

With the inauguration of regular television broadcast from NBC, one of the RCA's services, Red owners in Metro-Bolliver, New York, enjoy the novel experience of receiving pictures through the air, but an examination of the set contributes little to an understanding of the subject. Except for the screen and slanted mirror that reflects the image to the

audience, it is much like a radio in appearance. But in the RCA Victor laboratories where television equipment has been developed, we get a better view of the tubes that have added two new words to our vocabulary. The iconoscope for a camera and the kinoscope for the receiver.
