  • A compact bench-mounting photographic receiver D -700 has now been developed by Muirhead and Company, Beckenham, Kent.

    Positive or negative prints on paper or film up to 10½” by 10” can be recorded. Drum speeds of either 1 or 2 RPM are provided, and the scanning pitch is 100 lines /inch.

    The bandwidth required is 2 kHz centred on a carrier of 1.3 kHz.

    For line operation, the signal is amplitude modulated, but for radio transmission, FM can be used with a conversion unit.

    There is provision for a speech channel and for the use of a synchronized Mufax monitor which enables the picture to be seen on electrosensitive paper as it is received.

    The price of the D -700 photographic receiver is £950.
