MOSELEY, Sydney A. & H.J. Barton CHAPPLE. - Television To-Day and To-Morrow with a foreword by John L. Baird.

Title: Television To-Day and To-Morrow with a foreword by John L. Baird.
Description: London, Pitman 1930. Octavo publisher's cloth; 130pp & catal., numerous photo plates & illustrations. Some browning, only worth mentioning on endpapers and edges. ¶ The first of a few editions. Largely written by a prime mover in the Baird company and vetted, as he said later, by Baird, this is as close as we get to Baird's own account of his work. It is a strong defence of Baird and gives an extended account of the battle with the B.B.C. It is as Moseley says "a piquant history of television as I knew it at first hand, but the subject has grown out of hand".

Keywords: science television c20th England technology electronics communications Baird
