This is the First Television Set in the World: The “Baird Televisor”, 1928 An early experimental and demonstration “Baird-type” television receiver with 30 lines, and Nipkow disc which turned with a speed of 750 rpm producing 12 1/2 pictures per second. The motor still runs on a standard 18-volt battery. A spectacular demonstration model of the birth of television! Picture after the jump.
