[78-L] Subject: Kinescopes (WAS Average Age)

[Dan Van Landingham]

I know James Logie Baird was one of the principal figures in early 
television.Were they using the Nipkow
Disc then?I saw a special on failed inventions some time back and there was a 
segment on early tv.The
show featured tv sets from around 1928.They claimed around a 1000 were made and 
failed miserably
because they were:(1)very expensive to own and:(2)only one viewer could watch a 
show at a time.The
examples shown were from the U.S.The show I saw was on one of the satellite 
channels like Discovery
or the Science Channel.I remember hearing a story about a cartoon being shown in 
Britain on 1 Sept
1939 and it was interrupted due to Britain's declaring war on Nazi Germany which 
started World War
Two.The story concluded with the last half of the cartoon being shown after the 
war was over sometime
after the war ended on 8 May 1945.Don't ask me where I read it as I had read it 
well over 25 years ago.
It may have been in a high fidelity magazine.I took both Stereo Review and Audio 
then.

Slightly off subject - but experimental recording of television actually goes 
back to 1928 (UK) when television was still "mechanical".

This was the DuMont Electronicam system already discussed by Al Haug in
his posting at 11:42 am -- almost six hours ago.

Check the 78-L.  We know more than the NYT on some subjects.
