Scrapbook 3: Photos of broadcast

FOR 18 minutes a vast audience of viewers in 16 European countries last night watched the first direct transatlantic television programme from the United States via the Telstar satellite. Both pictures and sound from the satellite were remarkably clear. Later Eurovision transmitted a programme back showing European scenes as far apart as North Sweden, Jugoslavia and The Lizard in Cornwall.
