...ether waves, had already been surmounted by experimenters with the photoelectric cell and amplifier, used in motionless television and telephotography. Dr. Alexanderson's feat was to utilize a beam of light (which in motionless telephotography has from 2 to 20 minutes to trace and transmit the desired light-pattern or image) at unprecedented speed, so that it could render a complete image within the minimum time that the human eye will catch an image, a 16th of a second. This he had done by splitting his light beam into seven parts, letting each part trace a fraction...
