the invention of television

  • 1 Want to read

Tube is a comprehensive history of the technological underpinnings of electronic television. It describes the rivalries between advocates for electronic television and advocates for mechanical television, comparing and contrasting the technological and practical advantages respectively. The book also chronicles RCA Victor Corporation's unrelenting legal battle to claim patent rights that most believe should have rightfully gone to the brilliant young farm boy whose vision of television "with no moving parts" drove the process that resulted in modern electronic television.
