Sensation in Berlin - pictures from record player: In the near future TV - telecasts can be reproduced from record players at home. The companies AEG - Telefunken and Teldeo presented their first "picture record", which they developed in 15 years of co - operative work. The four berlin Ingeneers Eduard Schueller (AEG- Telefunken), Gerhard Dickopp (AEG - Telefunken), Horst Redlich (Teldeo), and hans - Joachin Klemp (Taldeo) had to solve the main problem of transmitting 3 to 4 million picture and sound oscillations (instead of normally 15,000) per second to a record. As a whole the picture record seems to be a simple and especially inexpensive picture ans sound storage. the record player is easy to handle and rather robust, It surely will be a great success on the market. Photo shows Ingeneers Gerhard Dickop~ and Horst Redlisch, who developed the picture record.
