John Logie Baird 1937

John Logie Baird giving a description of his first television camera on display at the Science Museum, London. The television camera was demonstrated to the press and members of The Royal Institution at Frith Street 22, London, on January 27 1926. This was the first public demonstration of true television.
I recorded this piece of historic movie on VHS from The Discovery Channel some years ago.

@saintantoni Thank you for posting this. I am looking at your grandfather right now in John Logie Baird - a life, plate 17b. Very interesting.

Thanks for uploading this, he invented the television, and what credit did he get? How ungrateful we are!!!

@Davidporterse1 Sadly John Logie Baird was never given credit for his great pionering work on television. Baird was the first to demonstrate true television pictures (1926) and when he died i 1946 he had developed all-electronic color television in 3D. In test transmissions his Telecrome tube scanned 1800 lines (now that is HDTV).

what where they shooting with?

The first television camera described here by John Logie Baird used a spinning disc with 2x8 lenses set in spirals. Interlaced 2 times the resulting image was 32 lines. The apparatus could be used as either a direct view camera or the inverse flying spot camera.
