Excerpt from Television: The Eyes of Tomorrow Any person who deliberately takes it upon himself to write a book on television asks for the criticism of both qualified critics and lay readers. In a subject as complex as television, the temptation is always presented to an author to cover one phase in detail and disregard the others as purely contributory arts. This book, however, was originally designed to summarize the problems and potentialities of all the functions that go into a television production. Experts in each field will necessarily point out wide discrepancies between my coverage of their specialty and the practical application of their trade on the studio floor. Others will, no doubt, object to the too-detailed coverage given a field foreign to their profession. To all readers, then, may I offer my advance apologies for the liberties thus taken in reviewing the diversified arts that together comprise television. No field of endeavor ever proposed by man offers more or demands more from its patrons than does the creation and transmission of electronic pictures. No person in television can disregard the functioning or precepts of an associated profession, if he does, he might overlook or perhaps nullify its possible contribution to his work. No one can feel that his knowledge of a specialty is in itself sufficient or that knowledge of the potentialities and problems of his colleagues are not required. Television is, in truth, a melting pot of the sciences, the arts, and the populace. This book is sent to the presses in the hope that this superficial resume of the components that enter into a television broadcast may aid in a better understanding of the work being done by the other fellow.
