Television on full size theater screen --- Motion pictures and live talent, televised by General Electric’s station WRGB, is projected on a 11 by 15 foot motion picture screen in a small theater, a short distance from the studio, in Schenectady.

This was the first use of microwave relay equipment for this purpose and was demonstrated to show the possibilities of network theater television.

The projector, shown in the photo, was provided by Rauland Corporation of Chicago.
