The box, not the programmes. Five men demonstrated working apparatus between 1925 and 1927 and this archive crowns none of them, preferring to show what each actually did: a ventriloquist dummy at thirty-two lines in a Soho attic, a model windmill transmitted to a Washington rooftop with the Navy watching, a single straight line in a San Francisco laboratory, and a Japanese katakana character at forty lines on a cathode ray tube. After that it follows the object: the veneered console that was furniture before it was electronics, the tube that made the cabinet deep, the spinning disc that lost, the factories that moved from America to Japan to Korea to China, the shops where crowds watched through the window, the repairmen with their valve caddies, and the lead-heavy glass that makes a dead set difficult to throw away. A mechanical colour system was the legal American standard for fourteen months, and almost nobody remembers it.

## Eras

- **Mechanical TV**, The mechanical era as hardware. Nipkow discs, mirror drums, the Televisor, radiovision kits, neon lamps and magnifying lenses. This is the smallest facet in the archive and that is a measured fact rather than a gap: about sixty genuinely mechanical files exist on Wikimedia Commons in total. It survives on film chiefly through the people who still build working thirty-line receivers today.
- **Laboratories**, Where the hardware was invented and tested. Baird at Frith Street and the Royal Institution, Farnsworth at 202 Green Street in San Francisco, Zworykin at Camden, Takayanagi at Hamamatsu, Rosing, Bell Labs, the University of Illinois plasma work, prototype rigs and the inventors with their apparatus. Thin here by measurement rather than neglect: television patent drawings are scarce on Wikimedia Commons, whose patent category is mostly aeroplanes and machinery.
- **Tubes**, Cathode ray tubes as objects and as components: bare tubes, cutaways, electron guns, shadow masks and aperture grilles, phosphor screens, leaded funnels, projection tubes, the flat tube in a pocket television, and the last enormous direct-view screens. Also the receiving valves that sat in a chassis, which is a narrower category than it sounds, since the wider vacuum tube world is mostly radar, X-rays and hi-fi.
- **Panels**, Flat display hardware. Plasma cells and panel cutaways, liquid crystal layers, backlights from fluorescent tubes to light emitting diodes, organic substrates, rear projection engines and micromirror arrays, curved and rollable screens. Plasma began in 1964 as a computer terminal part with inherent memory, forty years before it reached a living room and lost.
- **Cabinets**, The set as furniture and as sculpture. Veneered consoles with doors that closed, Bakelite table sets, moulded plastic shells, Soviet cabinets, the slim panel hung on a wall. For most of the century the cabinet was the part of a television anyone actually looked at, and it changed faster than the electronics behind it. Model designations here are often unverified, so these are captioned by what is visible.
- **Showrooms**, Where sets were sold and watched in public. Shop windows with crowds outside, department store television departments, rental showrooms, appliance dealers, Soviet electronics counters, walls of identical screens in a warehouse store, and trade fairs. Sets were bought, rented and watched collectively long before most households owned one.
- **Factories**, Production lines and plant interiors: glass forming, frit sealing, phosphor screening, gun mounting, evacuation, ageing racks, chassis assembly, coil winding, wave soldering, and the panel cleanrooms that replaced all of it. The story runs from America and Europe to Japan, then Korea, then China, and it is told here in Russian, German, Japanese, Korean and Chinese sources as well as English, because an English search alone ends it in Japan in 1985.
- **Living Rooms**, The set in domestic use, as an object in a room. Families around a console, the neighbour's house and the pub, rooftop aerials, remote controls, folding trays, and the same scene in Soviet, Japanese, British, American, Chinese and Indian homes. A television is a piece of furniture before it is anything else, and the room shows how it was used.
- **Repair**, The service trade as objects and people: repairmen with valve caddies, tube testers, workshop benches, oscilloscopes, service manuals and schematics, a chassis pulled out onto the living room floor, and the modern restoration bench. For decades a television was a repairable appliance with an entire trade behind it, and that trade has an unusually strong presence on film today.
- **Scrapyards**, The afterlife. Dumped sets at the kerb, stockpiles of cathode ray glass, recycling floors, electronic waste grounds, museum stores and conservation benches, collector shelves of professional monitors, and smashed tubes. A twelve inch tube holds about half a kilogram of lead and a thirty-two inch one up to three, with the funnel glass a fifth to a quarter lead oxide, which is why a dead set is a disposal problem rather than rubbish.

## Timeline

### 1884
- **1884**, Disco di nipkow per televisore meccanico. Disco di Nipkow in alluminio a spirale di fori (ovvero i fori sono disposti a spirale in prossimità del bordo più esterno). Ha quattro razze con una superficie verniciata di nero. Funzione Disco utilizzato per analizzare e riprodurre le immagini in un televisore meccanico Fracarro.

### 1885
- **1885**, Windmill Tower, Wickham Terrace, Brisbane. Reports differ on whether the Telephane was successfully implemented. The first television broadcast in Australia took place on 30 September 1929 at the Menzies Hotel in Melbourne, using the electro-mechanical Radiovision system. Other transmissions took place in the city over the next few weeks.

### 1897
- **1897**, Cathode Rays Figure 1. Figure 1 from J. J. Thomson's paper Cathode Rays, published in 1897. Thomson's work established that cathode rays were streams of particles, which is the physics every later picture tube depended on.

- **1897**, Cathode Rays Figure 4. Figure 4 from Thomson's 1897 paper Cathode Rays. The apparatus measures how far a beam bends under a magnetic field, the same effect a deflection yoke later exploited to paint a picture. It is a published figure rather than a photograph.

- **1897**, JJ Thomson exp2. A diagram of Thomson's 1897 cathode ray experiment, showing the ray in blue being bent by an electric field in yellow. Deflecting a beam under electrical control is the single effect every picture tube depends on, so this experiment is the direct ancestor of the television screen.

### 1900
- **1900**, Televisón de los 1900. A model of a television of the 1900s, built to show the arrangement that followed Nipkow's invention of the scanning disc. Nipkow patented the disc in 1884, decades before anyone transmitted a moving picture with one.

### 1908
- **1908**, Phantoscope charles francis jenkins. The Phantoscope and a phantoscope picture roll, Jenkins's early motion picture apparatus. Jenkins came to television from film projection, which is why his approach was built around mechanically moving images rather than electronics.

A flat panel television in a hotel room at the Grand Coloane Resort on Hac Sa Road, Coloane, Macau, photographed in May 2017. Hotel rooms were among the first places most people encountered a wall mounted panel, because hotels replaced their sets faster than households did. The 1918 in the address is a street number and not a date.

- **1925**, Baird TV 1926a. Television receiving apparatus used by John Logie Baird in the demonstration he gave to members of the Royal Institution. That demonstration, on 26 January 1926, was Baird's first public showing, distinct from the private achievement of 2 October 1925 when he first got a recognisable image of Stooky Bill at 32 lines. Most accounts merge the two events. [scene](https://loreline.live/loreline/television/scene/331546ff-a6de-4521-bfe1-a1d37c1fec41) Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Baird_TV_1926a.jpg
- **1925**, John Logie Baird and Stooky Bill. British inventor John Logie Baird and his first publicly demonstrated television system, with which he transmitted moving pictures March 25, 1925 at the London department store Selfridges. This was one of the first demonstrations of television technology. The selenium photoelectric tubes he used had such low sensitivity that human faces could not be televised due to their low contrast.

### 1926
- **1926**, Baird TV 1926b. A second view of the receiving apparatus Baird used before members of the Royal Institution in January 1926. The receiver is an assembly of exposed mechanism rather than a cabinet, because at this stage nothing about the equipment was intended for a domestic room.

- **1927**, Mechanical television receiver 1927 - Indiana State Museum. A prototype mechanical television receiver built by Morris VanWay for RCA in 1927. The video signal from a receiver was applied to the neon bulb at top, and it was viewed through holes in the spinning disk (Nipkow disk) at rear, which created the scan lines, resulting in a dim orange monocolor image about one inch square. Before modern electronic scan television systems were developed around World War 2, the first television systems used this mechanical scan technology.
