Abstract

In a facsimile transmission device, means for reducing the bandwidth which includes a clock rate halving flip-flop and an odd-even line switching flip-flop which are logically combined to transmit every second data bit in each line in a vertical stagger between lines. At the receiving end the missing bits are filled in by an interpolation device according to the data in the vertically adjacent bits or the horizontally adjacent bits.
