Edouard Belin

Edouard Belin , born with Vesoul (Haute-Saône) the March 5th 1876 and died in Territet (Canton of Vaud, Swiss) the March 4th 1963, is a French inventor.

He is the inventor in 1907 “Bélinographe”, a system able to send remote photographs, via the networks telephone and telegraphic. As of 1914, a photograph of report is transmitted by “telephotograph”.

It improves its process in 1921, so that it is able to transmit the images by Ondes radio.

In this apparatus, the transmitter traverses the original image point by point and measures the luminous intensity via a Electric eye. The intensity is conveyed to the receiver. There, a source of light reproduces the intensities measured by the electric eye, while carrying out same displacements exactly. By doing this, it impresses photographic paper, which makes it possible to obtain a copy of the original image.

The Télécopieur S and modern Photocopieur S use the same principle, with this close the sensor of luminous intensity was replaced by a sensor CCC, and that the device of impression is based on laser technology , and either photographic.

Edouard Belin was president of the French company of photography.

Edouard Belin gave his name to a college of Vesoul.
