Abstract
AS we are able to look forward to conditions of peace in Europe, it is natural for our thoughts to turn towards the resumption of many of the amenities of civilized life, which has been so seriously restricted during the War. Among these amenities is the reception of television programmes for instructional and entertainment purposes, a service which was provided by the London Television Station over a limited area of Great Britain for a year or two preceding the outbreak of war. In view of the widespread application of radio technique to military purposes, and the outstanding advances made in various directions during the past five years, it is natural to inquire in what way and to what extent radio broadcasting and television will benefit when this technique and the personnel trained in its use are directed to the exploitation of these peacetime pursuits. It is therefore relevant to refer in some detail to an address entitled "Some Aspects of Pre-War and Post-War Television" given to the Royal Institution on March 2 by Mr. H. L. Kirke, head of the Research Department of the British Broadcasting Corporation.
