- Visors designed and made by readers
- High-Definition with a disc-receiver
- Obtaining brilliant pictures
- Simple television receiver suggestions
- Daylight TV
- Television committee's report
- Building a portable Television Receiver
and more.
I came home very late today, and I have to go up at 5.45 am, so no time for scanning in anything by now. But I will do it as soon as possible.

In 1935 that would have been far more than the average weekly wage. In 1956 my father was making about six pounds a week as a trainee projectionist at the Hammersmith Odeon, then he had to pay tax out of that!
