Abstract
IN view of the many discursive books on the practice of television, this text is opportune, in that it sets out for the first time in book form the relevant physical data on lenses, Kerr cells, and electron focusing, and the relative effectiveness of various methods of scanning. More significant is its scientific accuracy and completeness; no important detail seems to be omitted which has a bearing on the optical performance of the many types of system. With its extensive bibliography and logical layout, Mr. Myers's book should prove to be a very valuable source of reference for students for many years to come.
