Vladimir Zworykin Encyclopedia |
 | | Zworykin was born in Murom, Russia, in 1889, perhaps on July 30, to the family of a prosperous merchant. |
 | | Although, as we know, Zworykin described cathode ray tubes as both transmitter and receiver, the operation, whose basic thrust was to prevent the emission of electrons between scansion cycles--a solution reminiscent of A.A. Campbell Swinton's proposal, published in Nature in December 1911. |
 | | The breakthrough would come when the Zworykin team decided to develop a new type of cathode ray transmitter, one described in the French and British patents of 1928 priority by the Hungarian inventor Kalman Tihanyi whom the company had approached in July 1930, after the publication of his patents in England and France. |
