Abstract

In apparatus for making a half-tone reproduction of an image and having a row of light source elements which together expose a line across a component screen area of a film to be exposed, screen-representing signals are electronically generated when pulses exist in corresponding locations of a pair of shift register devices having trains of pulses moving in opposite directions. Each shift register device may comprise a pair of shift registers having trains of pulses moving in the same direction, the relative phase of the pulse trains in the two shift registers varying with the picture signal.
