Look out for Radiovision

Charles Francis Jenkins

Charles Francis Jenkins has just unveiled the first simultaneous transmission of images and sounds using 48 lines and mechanical system.

These images are displayed to the representatives of the Standards Bureau, the Navy, the Commerce Department, and other agencies. Jenkins called this "the first public exhibit of radio vision”.

He actually published an article on "Wireless Movies" in 1913, but it was not until December 1923 that he delivered a dynamic silhouette image to onlookers. On June 13, 1925, Jenkins publicly indicated simultaneous transmission of silhouette photos. During that same year, Jenkins sent a contour image of the toy windmill at a distance of 5 miles from the Navy radio station in Maryland to his lab in Washington using a Nipkow disk scanner. A Nipkow disk is a mechanical, rotating, geometrically operating image scanning device.

It is very possible for a future children to see and hear talkies whenever they want instead of having to choice one sense over the other.
