	Vladimir Zworykin - Who's Who in RCA VideoDisc
		Vladimir Zworykin was one of the foremost television pioneers of the 20th century.
		Zworykin was born on July 30, 1889, in Mourom, Russia, where his father owned and operated a fleet of boats on the Oka River.
		Zworykin, or "The Doctor," which is the name by which many of us knew him, was unquestionably a great man; but I often wonder if any one of us, as an individual, is capable of appreciating the full measure of his genius.

	ETF - Vladimir Zworykin
		Zworykin was cursed with living in interesting times, born in Russia in 1889, he studied at the St. Petersburg Institute of Technology.
		Zworykin managed to develop a more sophisticated picture tube called the Kinescope, which serves as the basis of the television display tubes in use today.
		Zworykin had originally told Sarnoff it would cost $200,000.00 to develop a television system, the final cost was estimated to cost RCA about $50,000,000.00.

		Vladimir Kosma Zworykin has been called "The Father of Television," though there were hundreds, if not thousands of individuals involved in the slow, methodical process of putting together the pieces until they worked.
		Zworykin filed his patent for color television that year, and Sarnoff gave him as much money as he said he needed, even during the Depression, when other departments were being closed.
		Zworykin stated, "The fate of television now rests in the laps of the financial and merchandising experts." David Sarnoff was on his way to realize his dream of putting a television in every home, but people were still going to have to wait for awhile.

	Who Invented Television? - The Farnsworth Chronicles
		Zworykin's corporate benefactor, David Sarnoff, believed the Iconoscope gave him the leverage he needed to bring all the legal might of RCA to bear on claiming Farnsworth's achievement as RCA's own.
		Still we read time and again that Zworykin made modern television possible when he "invented the Iconoscope for RCA in 1923." The facts are that Zworykin was not working for RCA in 1923, the Iconoscope did not exist at that time, and it is questionable whether Zworykin truly invented it at all.
		Zworykin got some momentum going with the Iconoscope, but it was not until the Image Orthicon tube was introduced that the industry had the tool it really needed to bring the world into our living rooms.

	Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, 1889-1982
		Zworykin decided to leave Russia for the United States in 1918 or 1919.
		The demonstration given by Zworykin sometime in late 1925 (not in 1923, as popular accounts would have it) was far from a success with the Westinghouse management, even though it showed the possibilities inherent in a system based on the Braun tube.
		The breakthrough would come when the Zworykin team decided to develop a new type of cathode ray pickup tube, one described in French and British patents of 1928 priority by Hungarian inventor, Kalman Tihanyi, whom the company approached in July 1930, after the publication of his patents in England and France.

	Zworykin, Vladimir
		For his fundamental and crucial work in creating the iconoscope and the kinescope, inventor Vladimir Zworykin is often described as "the father of television".
		At the Petersburg Institute of Technology, Zworykin studied electrical engineering with Boris Rosing, who believed cathode ray tubes would be useful in television's development because they could shoot a steady stream of charged particles.
		In 1930, Zworykin's experiments with G.A. Morton on infrared rays led to the development of night-seeing devices.

		Zworykin was born in Murom, Russia, and studied at the St Petersburg Institute of Technology and at the Collège de France in Paris.
		The iconoscope tube uses an electron beam to scan the charge pattern on a signal plate, which corresponds to the pattern of light and dark of an image focused on it by a lens.
		Zworykin's inventions also included an early form of electric eye and an electronic image tube sensitive to infrared light, which was the basis for World War II inventions for seeing in the dark.
