Task Clarification

Did you know that it was the inventions and discoveries of many different scientists that resulted in giving us television?

The “first” generation of television sets were very different from what we have now and were not entirely electronic. The TV screen had a small motor with a spinning disc and a neon lamp, which worked together to give a blurry reddish- orange image about five centimetres wide. The period before 1935 is called the “Mechanical Television Era”.
