Abstract: This is a brief review of published material and, in its original form, was an introductory part of a symposium on the various aspects of television which will affect the photographic industry. It is not an attempt to answer directly the question, “Who invented television?” for, as Waldemar Kaempffert, Science Editor of the New York Times, has already pointed out, Professor William F. Ogburn in his “Social Change” has listed 148 major discoveries and inventions which were made simultaneously and independently by at least two workers in the particular field concerned in each case; and if the list were to include developments of secondary importance, it would undoubtedly have grown into a volume at least as large as an unabridged dictionary. Rather, then, it should be construed as an attempt to convey a general understanding of the subject by considering how it was pieced together.
