WALKIE-TALKIE TIC-TAC

The video discusses the modernization of the traditional racecourse semaphore system by using transistorized technology. Initiated by Henry Graham's bookmaking firm, the new system employs walkie-talkie radios to transmit betting information, reducing errors in crowded environments. The secure wavelength prevents unauthorized access or interference. This is the first application of such technology for horse and dog racing. The two-way radio sets are costly, but the expense is ultimately borne by the bettors.
