MASS-PRODUCING TELEVISION SETS -- Tbilisi, Zarya Vostoka, 25 Nov 51
The Moscow Television Center is providing high-quality television trans-
mission with a picture definition of 625 lines. The industry is mass-produc-
ing such high-quality television receivers as the T-1 Moskvich, T-1 Leningrad,
KVN-I+9, T-2 Leningrad, and others.
According to Professor P. V. Shmakov, Soviet scientist, if the antenna
of the television transmitter were elevated by aircraft to a height of 10,000
meters, the program of the Moscow Television Center could be received through-
out European USSR.
Television is rapidly growing. In May, the Kharkov Television Center
was put into operation, and new centers are being set up in other large cities.
Scientists and specialists are now working on color and three-dimensional tele-
vision.

URGES TELEVISION CENTERS FOR RELAYING PROGRAMS -- Moscow, Vechernyaya Moskva,
11 Oct 51
The organization of centers for television reception, from which the
progroms may be relayed by wire transmission, permits a significant saving in
the n,imber of tubes used by the subscribing television receivers. Such re-
ceivers require no more than four or five tubes. In complexity, they differ
little from the ordinary Moskvich receivers, and if mass-produced could be
inexpensive.
Questions relating to the wire transmission of television have not yet
left the stage of laboratory development. The Ministry of Communications In-
dustry pays very little attention to them. - 1951, a group Retransmission Networks et o pia center forofwirethe Moscow d television City Radio

100 outlets) wired television centers would permit wide reception in hotels,
sanatoriums, asylums, and individual homes.
Such centers could become a principal medium for the advancement of
television to the kolkhozes of Moscow Oblast and other nearby oblasts where,
with an antenna and a sensitive television receiver, telecasts could be re-
ceived from Moscow.
