Abstract
THE use of the words ‘radiogram’ and ‘radio-phone’ now seem firmly established to denote a message that has come through the ether, and the instrument by means of which we hear speech and music that has travelled through it, respectively. It seems natural, therefore, to call the seeing of pictures that have travelled through the ether ‘radio vision.’ According to this analogy, ‘television’ would be restricted to pictures that have travelled through wires. In this sense we use the words telegraph and telephone.
