broadcast facsimile before the emporium section of the institute of radio engineers facsimile is simply an added service that radio can bring pro fessor knutson declared through it some spot news may be trans mitted he said and it may be used also to supplement sound pro grams it is not inconceivable to im agine a radio receiver so equipped with facsimile that during the regular sound program supple mentary information could be sent simultaneously on the facsimile he predicted score sheets and team lineups could be sent during a game broadcast technically the combination of sound and facsim ile should not be too difficult if the subcarrier for facsimiles were made say 15,000 cycles a high fidel ity sound program could be car ried below the facsimile predicts aid to education professor knutson also predicted that facsimile as it continues to improve may prove invaluable for educational programs there are two systems now un dergoing field tests he explained one of these has been under study by professor knutson for more than a year and material is being received nightly in packard labor atory on sets operated under this system in cooperation with wor in regard to fading professor knutson said that the lehigh re search program on facsimile has observed two definite conditions these are first that about 50 per cent of the receptions during june july and august show considerable fading and that only about 10 per cent show appreciable fading dur ing the winter months and second that the higher the barometric pressure the less the disturbance due to fading a
