January 14, 1928

NEW YORK TIMES, Jan. 14, 1928  The front page reports a notable event in the development of television with one column heads: "RADIO TELEVISION TO HOME RECEIVERS IS SHOWN IN TESTS" "Pictures and Voices Clearly Seen and Heard in Three Schenectady Residences" "Sent Out From Laboratory" and more. (see) Coverage continues on page 5 with related photos. As Wikipedia notes in its history of television: " ...In 1928, WRGB then W2XB was started as the world's first television station. It broadcast from the General Electric facility in Schenectady, NY...". This newspaper report is that event.
Complete in 34 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint meant for institutional use. In great condition.
