Summary
| Description |
English: A woman watching an early homemade experimental mechanical television receiver in 1928, from Hugo Gernsback's magazine Science and Invention. During the 1920s some radio stations began broadcasting experimental television programs, which could be viewed by mechanical "televisor" receivers like this one. The video signal from the receiver (left) is applied to a neon lamp in the viewer (right). In front of the lamp a metal disk with holes rotates, creating the scan lines of the image. This created a dim monochrome orange image 1.5 inches (4 cm) square with 48 scan lines at 7.5 frames per second, visible within the viewing cone, which the woman is watching. These mechanical-scan television technologies never achieved images of sufficiently high quality to catch on with the public, and were superseded by electronic scan television broadcasts in the 1930s.

This 1928 issue of Science and Invention would have the copyright renewed in 1955. Online page scans of the Catalog of Copyright Entries, published by the US Copyright Office can be found here. http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/ The search of the Renewals for Periodicals for 1954, 1955 and 1956 show no renewal entries for Science and Invention. Therefore the copyright on the magazine was not renewed and it is in the public domain. Science and Invention ceased publication with the August 1931 issue. A search of the copyright renewal records from 1951 to 1959 shows no entries for Science and Invention. All issues are in the public domain. |
