  • Figure 1 illustrates one of the scanning discs provided with arcuate slots.
  • Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the relation of two images to the slots of the discs.
  • gig. 3 illustrates a manner of illumination

  • Figure 1 shows an exampleof such scan ning disc provided with a slot made of spiral arcs whose equation in polar coordinates re lated to the center of said discis linear. If two discs of this kind rotate around the same different speeds, each square, such as the one represented by dotted lines on Fig. 1 corresponds to an image, said imagebeing explored in this case in a continuous manner and at a uniform speed. The same discs permit consequently to explore at the same time several images. so that they may be used simultaneouslyfor transmission and for reception, and also for television or telephotography of colors (with the three color process) and of relief (with the stereoscopic process) without increasing in any way the difficulties of synchronization between the 206,064, and. in France December a, 1926.
  • such scanning discs might be used in a sending television apparatus for illuminating point by point the object to be seen at a distance, the light emitted by the various points of said object successively illuminated acting on a photoelectric cell which translates into electrical variations the variations in lightand shade of saidvarious points of said object.
  • axis in opposite directions and with slightly One way of performing such an illumination of the object to be seen at a distance is represented on Fig. 3.
  • the fixed, or moving, object 31 to be trans mitted is placed in a dark chamber (not shown on the drawing) and its various points are successively illuminated.
  • This result is obtained by means of an intense source of light 19 (for instance the incandescent end of the coal stick of a Garbarini electric are, or the filament of a powerful incandescent lamp of the projector type) associated with a dioptric system constituted, for example, by the lenses 33 and 34.
  • This dioptric system produces a luminous cone of small angle in which are inserted, at any suitable point, the scanning discs 1 and 2 and the object to be transmitted, 31.
  • the concave surface of said lens is a hemisphere of center 19 and consequently all the rays emitted by 19 are taken by said lens and give after refraction an image 19 of 19 so located that the emergent luminous cone has only a small angle.
  • This luminous cone of small angle produced by lens 3 1 would give through the lens (or through a suitable dioptric system) 33 an image 19" of point 19 if a mirror (or a prism or other suitable optical device) did not deviate the luminous rays to make them converge at point19.

  • mirror 40 The relative positions of mirror 40, discs 1 and 2 and object 31 may differ from those shown in Fig. 3.
  • Mirror 40* could be placed after 19" onthe opposite part of the luminous cone converging at 19".
  • the source of light 19 has a uniform brilliancyon its whole surface it is convenient to form its image 19" exactly between discs 1 and 2 and in order to increase the illumination of the object 31.
  • the object of the present invention is an illuminating sending scanning device in which, in order to increase as much as possible the illumination of the variouspoints of the object successively, use is made of a plurality of sources of light at the same time, so located that their respective pencils of light fall on distinct and complementary portions of the circumference of discs 1 and 2; the luminous pencils produced by these different sources of light being juxtaposed exactly on the surface of object 31, which will be consequently highly illuminated.
  • Fig. 1 For example, two sources of light 19, 19a are used simultaneously in a device according to this invention, and shown in Fig. 1, which is built up byuxtaposing two structures similar to Fig. 3.
  • the lenses 34: and 33 give from source 19 an imagelocated in 19 between discs 1 and 2 and supposed to cover exactly the rectangle represented in 19"a on Figure 2.

  • Illumination sending scanning device comprising 1n combination, separate sources 34a and 33a; given an image 19a of source 19a located between discs 1 and 2 and supposed to cover exactly the rectangle represented in 19"a on Fig. 2.

  • the advantages of the illumination sending scanning device according to this invention are'first, to concentrate .a greater amount, of light successively on the various points of the scanned object; because the pencils of powerful sources of light arejuxtaposed on said object through distinct-and complementary portions of the circumference of the same scanning discs; and, second,
