Like the Human Eye Television Apparatus Described
A new electromechanical device termed a lemoscope mirrors the eye by scanning a scene with cathode ray mosaics and a photo electric mosaic. It transmits about twenty full pictures per second, with a resolution comparable to 25 lines per inch, enabling continuous viewing of a picture. The system uses lenses and a scanning cathode ray tube to drive a mosaic of light sensitive cells, producing a modulated current that reflects light and shade across the scene.
