Color Now. To the FCCommissioners and other nonscientific listeners, the workings of the systems seemed far less complicated than the arguments about their comparative virtues. The solidest single fact is that the CBS system, developed to high perfection by Dr. Peter C. Goldmark, turns out pictures which are bright, crisp, and at least as faithful as most colored movies. Their own special ill is a so-called "color flash." If the viewer looks away suddenly, he sees the picture momentarily in a single color, because of the persistence in the eye of the last one-color picture seen. A color...
Instantaneous Audience Measurement Service was invented by Dr. Peter C. Goldmark, 40, CBS's bashful, brilliant chief engineer and color television genius. I.A.M.S.'s listening posts will be little black gadget boxes attached to the family radio in "scientifically selected" homes. These boxes, responding to signals from station transmitters, will flash radio messages back at the rate of one a minute. At the station, these thousands of messages will be electronically counted and translated into graphs showing a program's minute-to-minute popularity...

...clearly-and colorfully-the most notable television demonstration of the year. In CBS's Manhattan studio, Dr. Peter C. Goldmark, 39-year-old, Hungarian-born inventor of color television, unveiled equipment developed since V-J day. For an hour, an ingenious new receiving set was tuned in on a filmed fashion show and football game, a Disney color short. The broadcast was over ultra-high frequency, radar wave lengths. The reception, as vivid as a Van Gogh painting, made black-&-white television look antiquated. Boasted CBS: "the insurmountable obstacles" have been hurdled; in a year, if the demand...
