    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Practical Television' is a seminal technical treatise that explores the foundational principles and mechanical processes of early image transmission. Co-authored by television pioneer John L. Baird and E. T. Larner, this work provides an in-depth look at the experimental phase of television technology before the widespread adoption of electronic scanning. The text delves into the physics of light, the function of the selenium cell, and the intricate mechanical systems required to synchronize and project moving images over a distance.Designed for engineers, students, and early adopters of the era, the book outlines the historical progression from simple telegraphy to the complex challenge of 'seeing by wire' and wireless. It covers essential topics such as image analysis, the use of the Nipkow disk, and the development of the cathode ray tube in its infancy. With its focus on both the theoretical and practical aspects of the medium, 'Practical Television' serves as a vital historical record of the innovations that paved the way for modern broadcasting. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the history of science, the evolution of telecommunications, and the brilliant minds who transformed a theoretical possibility into a global reality.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Practical Television" is a seminal technical treatise that explores the foundational principles and mechanical processes of early image transmission. Co-authored by television pioneer John L. Baird and E. T. Larner, this work provides an in-depth look at the experimental phase of television technology before the widespread adoption of electronic scanning. The text delves into the physics of light, the function of the selenium cell, and the intricate mechanical systems required to synchronize and project moving images over a distance.Designed for engineers, students, and early adopters of the era, the book outlines the historical progression from simple telegraphy to the complex challenge of "seeing by wire" and wireless. It covers essential topics such as image analysis, the use of the Nipkow disk, and the development of the cathode ray tube in its infancy. With its focus on both the theoretical and practical aspects of the medium, "Practical Television" serves as a vital historical record of the innovations that paved the way for modern broadcasting. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the history of science, the evolution of telecommunications, and the brilliant minds who transformed a theoretical possibility into a global reality.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
