unanimously. The city immedi-
ately obtained a back-to-work
order in Civil District Court,
but a union leader said his men
were ready to violate it and go
to jail.
“I guess somebody will have
to arrest us," said Mitch Ledet,

What is a test pattern
for’ Although not as
readily apparent as in the
early days of TV, the
function of any test pattern
is to furnish an accurate
means of comparing the
picture that appears on the
picture lube with that
actually seen by the
television camera. If the
two were identical, it would
indicate complete tran-
smission of the image
through the entire tran-
smitting and receiving
system of television. The
extent to which the pattern
is dearly repeated gives a
measure of the quality of
the transmission. The test
patterns provide a means
for proper diagnosis and
adjustment of television
transmitters and
receivers.
