Television Without Scanning?

[earlyfilm]

Rinehart, could you provide a link to the original Ulises A. Sanabria article on Television without Scanning? I'd like to reread the article.

I read about this system in the 1950's while I was in grade school. (At the time, our rural library had more books from the pre-WW II era than current ones.)

I remember thinking that this guy was either shyster or complete fruitcake! It just ain't possible.

Now, however, I agree with

that this was a thinking exercise.

I now realize that Sanabria was a visionary like C. Francis Jenkins, Philo T. Farnsworth, John Logie Baird and Peter C. Goldmark, all of whom had first, great and practical ideas for their time, but were quickly forgotten when technology side-stepped them.

I got the article from Steve McVoy's web site:www.earlytelevision.org/optical_tv.html It states that it is a reprint from an article in the July 1938 issue of Radio Craft, and it is linked to an unattributed article on the subject in the July 1947 issue of the same magazine.
