In Pendleton, Ore., remote control television has been introduced at the Temple Hotel which enables a motorist to drive up and register without entering the hotel or leaving his car. Here's how it works: A curbside structure resembling a phone booth is located outside the hotel which contains a small TV camera and a microphone. When a car drives up, its image and that of the auto's occupant shows up on a small receiving set at the registration clerk's desk All the driver has to do is lean out the right side window of his car for a face-to-face conversation with the clerk. At the same time, the device enables the clerk to check his accommodations without leaving his post and register the guest without having the guest enter the lobby.
