	John Logie Baird - Definition, explanation
		Baird was born in Helensburgh, Scotland and educated at Larchfield School, the Royal Technical College, and the University of Glasgow.
		In his first attempts to invent television, Baird experimented with the Nipkow disk and demonstrated that a semi-mechanical analogue television system was possible with the transmission of a static image of Felix the Cat in London in February 1924.
		According to Malcolm Baird, his son, what is known is that in 1926 Baird filed a patent for a device that formed images from reflected radio waves, a device remarkably similar to radar, and that he was in correspondance with the British government at the time.

	John Logie Baird
		Baird was so far ahead of his time that, even from beyond the grave, his inventions still provide the inspiration for a new glasses-free, stereoscopic/3D imaging system, currently being developed in Glasgow by Dr Peter Waddell and a team from the University of Strathclyde, in partnership with US-based Ethereal Technologies.
		When Baird went to New York in 1930, he was welcomed by the mayor with a motor-cycle escort and a pipe band, and hailed as "the inventor of television".
		Baird was already using CRTs in 1933, despite all their drawbacks, but his focus on mechanical systems was a stroke of true genius.

	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).
		Did Baird "fail?" He ignored or denied the growing value of the cathode ray tube for too long (until the late 1930s), and held on to hopes for his mechanical alternative.

		Baird had tried ultraviolet light as a means of shooting in darkness, but he found that this was damaging to the subject's eyes.
		Baird Television Ltd. went into liquidation, and Baird found himself to be, in his own words, "a free agent." Left with scarce resources and no hope of procuring benevolent corporate backers, Baird was on his own.

		Baird's success came from improving the photoelectric cell he was using and by more effectively managing the signal between the photoelectric cell and the video amplifier.
		Baird gave the first public demonstration of the transmission of the picture of a human face to members of the Royal Institution and a reporter from The Times on 26 January 1926 in his lab at 22 Frith Street, Soho.
		John Logie Baird may not have produced the system that popularised television to a mass market after World War Two, but he was the man who pushed the medium forward at a critical stage in its development, and who achieved a series of firsts in doing so.

	John Logie Baird Book - Critique by Michael-Bennett-Levy
		After this most people believe that Baird carried on with mechanical television when everyone else had switched to the cathode ray tube and was defeated in a competition with EMI-Marconi in 1936 at the BBC and finally faded away until he died in 1946.
		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.

		In his first attempts to invent television, Baird experimented with the Nipkow disk and demonstrated that a semi-mechanical analogue television system was possible with the transmission of a static image of a ventriloquist's dummy in London in February 1924.
		According to Malcolm Baird, his son, what is known is that in 1926 Baird filed a patent for a device that formed images from reflected radio waves, a device remarkably similar to radar, and that he was in correspondence with the British government at the time.

		Baird also could be called the father of video recordings as his 1928 invention the Phonodisc it was basically a 78rpm record that could play a video signal.
		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.

		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.

	John Logie Baird
		Plagued with ill health (he’d been rejected as unfit for military service for WW1) he was forced to resign from his position as an electrical engineer, and retired early in 1922 to Hastings on the English South coast, there he used his time to research ways of transmitting pictures.
		Although other scientists around the world were also conducting experiments at the same time, Baird was the first to hold a successful public demonstration, this was on January 27, 1926 in London using his primitive television system.
		However, Baird was instrumental in using more lines and therefore developed a more complex system that gave the picture greater definition.

	Baird's independent television \| Baird
		It seems that there was a feeling that Baird had focused too much on mechanical scanning and as a result there were only a couple of patents that were of value to BTL, and these would require thousands of TV sets to be produced before they would yield income.
		Baird moved into a house at number 3, Crescent Wood Road in Sydenham, south London, where he was effectively banished, albeit with access to some Company facilities, to his own extensive laboratory.
		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.

		John Logie Baird was a public figure during the second half of his life and his circle included many interesting people who were also public figures.
		His answer was that John Logie Baird would have been thrilled by the latest technical developments including 1000-line high definition television, which he had foreseen in 1944 in his contribution to the Hankey report (see the Gallery on this website).
		Baird tells his own story - from his Helensburgh boyhood to the great and precarious days when the first television pictures were transmitted, to his ultimate betrayal by the BBC - with a caustic turn of phrase and a self-deprecating wit.

		Currently named "Baird Court" Rother District Council gave permission for this property to be demolished and the land used for a modern block of flats in 2006, despite the efforts of many local resident who believed that this property should be listed and preserved due to its historical importance.
		Though John Logie Baird is often given credit for 'inventing' television, Baird himself never claimed this, as his early experiments were all with mechanical systems.
		Baird's television systems were therefore replaced by an electronic television system developed by EMI-Marconi under Isaac Shoenberg, similar to the system described by A.A. Campbell-Swinton, improved by Kalman Tihanyi in 1926, and initially developed by Vladimir Zworykin.
