Biographie
From 1902 onwards, Edouard Belin sketched out a system combining a recording cinematograph and a projector to allow the transmission of images. In 1907 he invented the 'Belinograph' which could send images lokng distance via telegraph and telephone lines, while by 1914 photographs could be transmitted by the 'Belimogram'. The method was perfected in 1921 by the addition of reading images with photo-electric cells which allowed them to be sent by wireless telegrgaphy and be photographically reproducible. This ancestor of the fax was used by the press up the 1960s.
The Belin company, which had been founded in 1911, was directed c. 1929 by René Mesny, and worked in an active collaboration with the Laboratoire national de Radioélectricité at Bagneux to develope and make tuning-fork clocks.1 Chronographs measuring to thousandths of seconds by Belin were also used atBesançonin the chronometer rating service. Between 1922 and 1936, particularly in collaboration with Fernand Holweck, Belin made many trials in the development of television. The firm was absorbed by Schlumberger in the early 1960s.
