EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Uses of light beams" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the innovative applications of light technology. The image depicts a lithograph by an English School artist, now part of a private collection. Intriguingly, this artwork unveils various unconventional uses for light beams during that era. From timing greyhound races at Wembley Stadium to recording bakery outputs and safeguarding precious jewels at Persian Art exhibitions, these novel applications demonstrate the versatility of radiovisor rays. The engraving featured in the Illustrated London News on 27 December 1930 sheds light on how technology was revolutionizing different industries. Light sensors and beams were employed to precisely time dog races, ensuring fair competition at renowned venues like Wembley Stadium. Similarly, bakeries utilized this cutting-edge technique to monitor their production output with utmost accuracy. Moreover, the security sector also embraced these advancements as they sought foolproof measures to protect valuable artifacts such as Shah's jewels during art exhibitions. By harnessing the power of radiovisor rays, authorities could enhance surveillance systems and deter potential burglars effectively. This remarkable photograph not only captures a moment in history but also serves as a reminder of humanity's constant pursuit for progress through technological innovation. It is a testament to our ability to adapt and find new ways to utilize even seemingly mundane elements like light beams for extraordinary purposes.
