July 22, 1928

THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 22, 1928

* John Baird - father of television
* TV in it's infancy - inventions - experiments

Page 10 has one column headings: "RECORD REPRODUCES SCENES WITH MUSIC" "Baird Combines Electric Phonograph With Television Principles in Disk Device" "Double Grooves Utilized" and more. (see)
Also a banner headline on page xx12 (near back): "TELEVISION'S RADIO CAMERA TAKES PANORAMIC SCENES" with subheads and related photos. Very significant reports during the founding of television, an invention which would change not only the worlds of entertainment & communication forever, but society as well. A significant issue for any collector of television history. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Complete in a 100+ page Sunday edition, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Minor spine werm, very nice condition.
