Television in Color from Motion Picture Film

If a television scanning disk is placed close to the ridged film in a Kodacolor projector, and three photoelectric cells are placed side by side in front of the projection lens, three sets of photoelectric signals will be produced, each corresponding to one of the primary colors. It is not necessary to use the color filters ordinarily placed before the lens or color-sensitive photoelectric cells, since the black and white strip images on the film contain the complete record of the characteristics of each colored image. The three sets of signals are transmitted over three communication channels and actuate a three-color receiving apparatus previously described.
