Note(s) This sub-class deals with the transmission of pictures and/or their transient or permanent reproduction either locally or remotely, by methods involving both the following steps: Step (a): the scanning of a picture, i.e. the analysis of the whole of a picture-containing area by resolving it into an area or a plurality of areas of which at least one of the two dimensions is elemental, simultaneously or in a sequence, and the derivation in response thereto of a picture-representative electric signal; Step (b): the reproduction of the whole of a picture-containing area by the reproduction in response to a picture-representative electric signal of an area or a plurality of areas of which at least one of the two dimensions is elemental, simultaneously or in sequence. In this sub-class, "pictorial communication systems" are those systems for the transmission and reproduction of arbitrarily composed pictures in which the local light variations composing a picture are not subject to variation with time, e.g. documents (both written and printed), maps, charts, photographs (other than cinematograph films). In this sub-class, "television systems" are those systems for the transmission and reproduction of arbitrarily composed pictures in which the local light variations composing a picture may change with time, e.g. natural "live" scenes, recordings of such scenes such as cinematograph films. This sub-class includes circuits specially designed for dealing with television or pictorial communication signals, as distinct from merely signals of a particular frequency range. This sub-class does not include the following subject matter: Circuits or other parts of systems which form the subject of other sub-classes, which are dealt with in the corresponding sub-classes, e.g. Fulltext...

Systems for the direct photographic copying of an original picture in which an electric signal representative of the picture is derived according to Step (a) and employed to modify the operation of the system, which are dealt with in Fulltext...

Systems for the reproduction according to Step (b) of pictures comprising alphanumeric or like character forms but involving the production of the equivalent of a signal which would be derived by Step (a), e.g. by cams, punched card or tape, coded control signal, or other means, which are dealt with in the sub-class for the application, e.g. Fulltext...
