1.0 out of 5 stars Not the first and not True Television, August 22, 2008

By	Eric C. Player "Reason Together" (Delta Junction, AK USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an interesting historical photo, but it is of an apparatus which was neither the first Television broadcast projector, nor is it in fact representative of anything that comes close to the truly electronic systems we have today.

The system photographed here is clearly using mechanical reels, and by the caption's own date it is set for June 1928. The first all-electronic Television system used vacuum tubes (known as cathode-ray tubes) and was demonstrated by Philo Farnsworth in Philadelphia in September of 1927.

See the PBS documentary "Big Dream, Small Screen" on the PBS "American Experience" website for more information.
