DEMONSTRATION OF ‘’TELEVISOR’’ IN 1926
On January 26, 1926, John Logie Baird (1888 – 1946) a Scottish
inventor, gave the first public demonstration of a true television
system in London (above), which launched a revolution in the
communication and entertainment fields.
Baird’s invention, a pictorial-transmission machine he called
a “televisor,” used mechanical rotating disks to scan moving
images into electronic impulses. This information was then
transmitted by cable to a screen where it showed up as a low-
resolution pattern of light and dark.
Baird’s first television program showed the heads of two
ventriloquist dummies, which he operated in front of the
camera apparatus out of view of the audience (below).
The original television model, invented by the Scottish
television pioneer John Logie Baird.

screen.
