Rediscovering the History of Television,
By Lee Schaeffer (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Story of Television: The Life of Philo T. Farnsworth (Telecommunications) (Hardcover)
"The Story of Television" is a reprint of a book originally published in 1949 when television was just becoming a commercial reality. It provides a historical perspective that is well worth reading for several reasons. First, RCA, having won the battle to commercialize television also claimed credit for its invention. With the demise of RCA, we are rediscovering the accomplishments of Philo Farrnsworth. Second, the author, George Everson, was one of Farnsworth's financial backers and close associates who witnessed first hand the birth of television. Third, the current books about the life of Farnsworth depict him as the struggling inventor battling the giants of industry only to be crushed by them. Everson portrays him as a well know and respected scientist who despite enormous technical odds was eventually able to triumph.
