	John Logie Baird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baird was born in Helensburgh, Argyll, Scotland, and educated at Larchfield School (now part of Lomond School), Helensburgh; the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College (which later became the University of Strathclyde); and the University of Glasgow.
		Baird achieved this, where earlier experimenters had failed, by obtaining a better photoelectric cell and improving the signal conditioning from the photocell and the video amplifier.
		On October 2, 1925, John Logie Baird was successful in transmitting in his laboratory the first television picture with halftones: the head of a ventriloquist's dummy, in a 30-line vertically scanned image, at 5 pictures per second.

	Baird, John Logie
		John Logie Baird pioneered early television with the mechanical scanning system he developed from 1923 to the late 1930s.
		Baird promoted initial public interest in television with the first public demonstrations (one in a London department store window) in 1925 to 1926, and long-distance transmissions by wire (between London and Glasgow in 1926) and short-wave (trans-Atlantic from London to New York in 1927).

		Baird had a cardboard disc, which had a ring of holes in a near spiral, rotating at eighteen turns per second, placed in front of the head of a dummy.
		John Logie Baird died on 14th June 1946 at the age of 58, leaving a widow, Margaret, whom he married in 1931, and two children, Diana and Malcolm.

		Baird appears to have arrived in Hastings in the winter of 1922 following an unsuccessful business venture in the Caribbean making jam and a more successful enterprise selling soap which appeared to be just about to take off when he fell ill and was advised to leave London.
		Baird had already experimented with the idea of television at school and at college began to really apply himself to the possibility in earnest.
		Baird returned to Hastings in 1927 at the invitation of Victor Mills of the Hastings and District Radio Society to lecture at the White Rock Pavilion.

		In the early 1940s Baird demonstrated a 600 line high definition color set he called telechrome as well as a stereoscopic 3D set, at the end of world war 2 there was a rush to restart operations of the existing TV system and Baird's colour system was pretty much forgotten when he died.
		Although John Logie Baird is often considered the inventor of Television his original design is far different from the sets that first became popular.

		The terms of deal between the company and Baird were that Baird would operate independently of the company, with his own private laboratory, and with technical staff supplied by the company, one in 1933 rising to six in 1936.
		Baird was also the first person to demonstrate colour television incorporating a cathode ray tube in conjunction with a mechanical scanning device in July 1939.

		Baird was not part of the platform party and was relegated to the audience, to his considerable annoyance.
		Baird Television Ltd. went into liquidation, and Baird found himself to be, in his own words, "a free agent." Sydney Moseley and Donald Flamm urged Baird to move with his family to the United States where he could continue his research in better conditions, but he politely declined.
		The detractors of Baird also tend to overlook the fact that he started to switch to electronic methods as early as 1932, and his work on electronic colour TV in the 1940s was at the cutting edge, far ahead of its time.

		Of particular interest to Baird, BTL and their new technical director, former BBC and EMI engineer Captain A D G West – and presumably the main reason for moving there – was the southern of the two water towers 1068 feet apart at either end of the site.
		Baird’s initial colour signals were generated from a 120-line mirror-drum camera mounted on a trolley that made it possible to take it outside the building.
		Baird’s colour system, by the end of 1940, was essentially a development of the venerable flying-spot technology that had been part of the Baird system from the beginning.
