"Sam Smith" 11/24/76 Side 2., 1976

 Item — track: 33

Scope and Contents

  1. Mr. Smith talks about Farnsworth's system and says that it wasn't very effective in terms of quality and that he believes that was the reason it wasn't as successful as some other systems.
  2. Mr. Smith talks them through some of what the actual patent interference results mean, which sometimes differ from what they had understood.
  3. They continue to disagree on some of the points and their relevance. He believes that some of the claims were drawn too broadly and although Farnsworth had won many of the interferences, his system wouldn't work in the way that modern television needs to function.
  4. Most of their disagreements seem to come from a difference of opinion about the quality of Farnsworth's system compared to other systems from that same time.
