Cartel Alleged in U S TV Development Delays
The government filed anti trust charges in New York accusing Scophony Ltd and Television Productions Inc of Britain and General Precision Equipment Corp of delaying U S television progress.

The British device could project 20 by 24 inch images on home sets and larger sizes for schools and theaters, while American sets remained limited to small reproductions.
