From Spinning Disks to Streaming 📺

On January 26, 1926, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of a working television system. This event, which took place at the London department store Selfridges, marked a significant milestone in the history of television.

Baird's demonstration used a device called a "Nipkow disk," which scanned an image and transmitted it over radio waves. The images were only 30 lines of resolution and were in black and white (compare that to today's 1080p HD). 

The National Archives holds a wealth of information about the history of television in the United States, including records of early television experiments, documents about the regulation of the television industry, and photographs and videos of early television programming.

@Regrann from @msnbcphoto - This Week in History: Ninety years ago, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird produced the first public demonstration of the mechanical television, broadcasting a three by two inch image of his business partner, Daisy Elizabeth Gandy, in 1926. Baird was an early TV pioneer whose company, the Baird Television Development Company, also realized the first transatlantic TV transmission. By 1928, the first mass-produced TV sets had arrived on the market. The mechanical television had a strong run, used by the BBC until 1937, but was ultimately surpassed in the market by the electronic television in the 1930s. Here, photographer Martin Parr captures an image of a television in England in 1970.
