ABSTRACT

According to the Haut Parley, the Eiffel Tower television transmissions are a failure and this journal blames M. Mandel, the French Minister of Posts and Telegraphs for making an improper choice of the system to be used. It remarks that the performers are literally bathed in light and perspire and suffocate, whilst the method employed at P.T.T. is so costly that it constitutes a regrettable experiment from every point of view.
