On 2 November 1936 the world's first high definition television
station was inaugurated at Alexandra Palace. Two competing
companies, Marconi-EMI Television Company Ltd and Baird Television
Ltd, provided studio and transmitting equipment for the new service
which operated, on an alternate basis, with the systems of the two
companies. After a trial period the 405-line system of the
Marconi-EMI company was adopted and the last transmission by the
240-line system of Baird Television Ltd was sent out on 30 January
1937. This book is concerned with the history of British television
for home reception from 1922/23 to 1939, when the London Station
closed down for the war years. Great care has been taken to ensure
that an unbiased, accurate history has been written and the work is
based predominantly on written primary source material. More than
900 references are given in the text, which is illustrated with
many photographs and illustrations. An endeavour has been made to
present a balanced history rather than a purely technical history.
Thus the book considers the factors - technical, financial and
general - which led to the establishment of the world's first,
all-electronic, public, regular, high definition television
broadcasting service.
