Ask
the proverbial 'man in the street', who invented television? The answer
will probably be John Logie-Baird. Although Baird is probably best
remembered for the development of the electro-mechanical television
system, there are many other pioneers involved in the fascinating story
of the development of the television medium, including Philo T.
Farnsworth, developer of electronic television.
In
our television history feature we endeavour to give an insight into the
beginning of the research and experimentation which led to television
as we know it today.
