Abstract :
REGULAR facsimile broadcasts of a morning newspaper to 100 subscribers now are being made by the McClatchy newspapers in Sacramento and Fresno, Calif. The service, which began February 2, 1939, uses standard broadcast frequency bands to transmit signals and synchronizes senders and receivers through the interconnected facilities of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. While experiments with the equipment have been under way for several years, this is the largest regular service yet attempted and the first use of facsimile network broadcasting.
