John Logie Baird (1888-1946), British electrical engineer, inventor and television pioneer. Following much experimentation, Baird developed a crude TV apparatus in 1922, able to transmit a picture and receive it over a range of a few feet. By 1929 Baird was involved with early TV transmissions by the BBC. Baird's system was later displaced by the Marconi-EMI electronic scanning system. Baird also pioneered colour, stereoscopic, and big screen TV, as well as ultra-short wave transmission. This photograph is from the Bain News Service in the USA, most of its images dating from the period from the 1890s to the 1930s.
