In connection with telephone fortnights in progress at the moment and which is aimed at publicising all aspects of telecommunication services, the television switching centre in the Post Office Tower in London was thrown open to the Press today.
It is not generally known that the Post Office plays a very big part in carrying TV programmes from the sudios to transmitters all over the country, and it is in this centre that the signals are received from the BBC and ITA studios and carried to transmitters in all parts of the country, depending where the programme is required.
The picture shows the scene in the Switching Control Room showing the monitor control desks and the monitor screens for BBC, ITA, the BTA Hotels, and Pay TV.

A visit today to the new BBC Television Centre at Shepherds Bush was certainly not time wasted, for this £10 million 'television factory'. At the centre a 3.5 acre circle encloses 8 000 000 bricks and 55 000 tons of concrete, formed into seven studios capable of recording TV material onto tape for any system in the world. In the studios lights abound in their thoussands, and cameras and their cables are very much in evidence, and to add to the statistics we may say that the Centre boasts 2500 doors. From the BBC Television Centre, Business Manager Ronald Waldman hopes to put BBC TV into really big business, competing - counteracting even - with the flood of cheap American programmes now circulating the world. The Centre has taken four years to build, and originally started life on the drawing board ten years ago, but first impressions are that it has been worth it.
Photograph shows: Here is the studio from which the first programme from the new Television Centre at Shepherds Bush, near the White City Stadium, will be transmitted on 29 June 1960, standing at the moment silent with its overhead mass of lights, recording and sound equipment, waiting for the go signal. When, on 29 June, this studio comes into live operation with the transmitting of a programme called "First Night", the scene here will be somewhat different, with technicians and stars abounding.

A technician stand in front of the latest British invention, which BBC technicians hail as the greatest thing in TV since the the foundation of Eurovision link up. It is called Vera - the BBC Vision Electronic Recording Apparatus, and is capable of recording television pictures and sound on magnetic tape, in the manner of a tape recorder. It is far superior to the present method of recording film by placing a camera at the end of a cathode x-ray tube, and eliminates foggy pictures and distortion. It is also far less expensive, as the tape can be used again and again. The British invention, thought up and developed by BBC Research Department, which has been working on it for over two years in an old convent in Balham, is also far superior to its American countrpart, which fills a small room with equipment, needs expensive extra wide tape and costs more than £20 000, without giving such good quality pictures. It has been successfully tested in the laboratory, and the BBC is using it tonight at the Lime Grove Studios.

The latest British invention, developed by the BBC, is this Vision Electronic Recording Apparatus, known as VERA. With this machine it is possible to record television pictures and sound on magnetic tape. Until recently, the only way of recording TV pictures was to use photographic film, using a film camera to photograph the pictures on the end of a cathode ray tube. This method has several drawbacks, including distortion, delay in being able to produce the recording, and considerable expense - unlike magnetic tape, the film can only be used once to record photos. Vera records photos and sound by electrical means on magnetic tape, in a similar way to a tape recorder. It records the electrical impulses from which the pictures are built up on the screen and stores them until production of the pictures is required. The BBC Research Department has been working on Vera since 1956; it has been successfully demonstrated in the laboratory and will be shortly out into experimental service at Lime Grove.

Animal Hospital .
There are many dispensaries and clinics for sick animals in Britain, but the Blue Cross animal Hospital at No.1 Hugh Street, behind London's Victoria station, is the only real, fully-equipped hospital in the country. It has most of the aids enjoyed by hospitals for humans, including an x-ray unit, an operating theatre, ambulances and trained nurses. Last year over 23,000 animals visited a doctor for treatment : of these18,000 were given surgical or other help by the staff and the other 5,000 were found homes, painlessly destroyed or otherwise dealt with. There is no charge for treatment. Each owner is asked to make a donation to the funds, but last year the cost of maintaining the hospital amounted to 9,000 pounds more than the donations. The balance is made up by the mother organisation, the Blue Cross, which has branches in clinics in most of Britain's largest towns. The Blue Cross itself has an income entirely derived from donations.

There are many dispensaries and clinics for sick animals in Britain, but the Blue Cross animal Hospital at No.1 Hugh Street, behind London's Victoria station, is the only real, fully-equipped hospital in the country. It has most of the aids enjoyed by hospitals for humans, including an x-ray unit, an operating theatre, ambulances and trained nurses. Last year over 23,000 animals visited a doctor for treatment : of these18,000 were given surgical or other help by the staff and the other 5,000 were found homes, painlessly destroyed or otherwise dealt with. There is no charge for treatment. Each owner is asked to make a donation to the funds, but last year the cost of maintaining the hospital amounted to 9,000 pounds more than the donations. The balance is made up by the mother organisation, the Blue Cross, which has branches in clinics in most of Britain's largest towns. The Blue Cross itself has an income entirely derived from donations.

MYSERY MAN SEEKS IDENTITY - FLOWN FROM PARIS
' Jimmy ' ( he knows no other name ) - the lost memory Englishman found wandering in the Bois de Boulogne , Paris , six days ago , was flown to England in a last hope of restoring his identity . He will be treated at a London hospital.
Officials of the American Hospital, Paris, where he was treated described him as ' positively the epitome of the British public school type'. They established he was suffering from amnesia, but could discover no more than that he was English. ' Jimmy', when found, was expensively dressed, but his clothes had no name tags or makers' labels. Solitaire clue of his identity is a number stamped inside his shoes. When found, ' Jimmy' had a bruise on his head, but doctors could not say whether he had been attacked.
PICTURE SHOWS;- Deep in thought as though trying to recall familiar scenes', ' Jimmy '- the lost memory man -arrived at Northolt airport, Middlesex today.
