Five nlew RCA-equipped stations in Mexico, Biazil, and Cuba add television to the forces which make Good Neighhors of all the Americas.

As little as 10 years ago, television- to the man on the street-seemed far away. Today, television is a reality in 10,500,000 homes.

Newest demonstration of TV's swift growth is its leap to Latin America. Three RCA-equippedl stations are now in Cuba, 1 in Mexico, another in Brazil--and more are being plan-ned. These stations are contributing to television. progress by following a single telecasting standard. They also use irnportant developments from RCA Laboratories: the supersensi-

tive image orthicon television camera, electron tubes, monitoring equipment, and antennas.

And as our neighbors to the south watch television at home, they see -another devel- opment of RCA research-the kinescope. It is the face of this tube which acts as the "screen" in all-electronic home TV receiv- ers . . . on which one sees sharp, clear pictures in motion.
