Qu'est-ce que le bélinographe? Les actualités françaises, 1951 (Wire photo)

Translation:  "What is the Belinograph? French news" 1951 (Wire photo)"


A nice french newsreel about the bélinographe (wire photo), to transmit photographs through ordinary telephone lines, within only 12 minutes.

The portable machine is described as particularly light: only 15 kilograms!

Interesting clip. Good to see all the other telephony too.

Thanks for the link.
