That’s a question beyond the comfort zone of most media historians who may not be familiar with analogue electronics. Even young engineers know little of thermionics, cathode rays and a myriad of other forgotten technologies. This important facet of television’s history is now only recorded by older engineers and by amateur groups who collect these technologies. In this paper, I will show by using examples how material artefacts can help us understand television’s history more fully. -

PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION Several years have passed since this book was first published on Simon Buxton’s VK2BV website. The writer now realises he is lucky to have started in this hobby many years ago, long before the prices of old radios started to rise appreciably. In 2012, the supply of collectable and restorable old radios newly emerging from storerooms and garages all over the UK is finally drying up. Nevertheless there still seem to be many young people keen to learn the skill of working on this equipment. That is the good news for our hobby. Sadly, those who performed the original design and operational work are now elderly, and many are no longer able to teach the knowledge. -

The Pioneers of Telegraphy, Telephony, Wireless, Radio, and Television
Appendix 1: Company Histories in Brief: The Pioneers of Telegraphy, Telephony, Wireless, Radio, and Television Bell Telephone Company (The Bell System), US The Bell Telephone Company was formally incorporated in 1877 by Gardiner Hubbard, the father-in-law of Alexander Graham Bell. Thomas Watson was put in charge of the technical functions of the company with Bell himself not being involved in the day-to-day opera- tions of the company. Later that year, the company set up its first tele- phone exchange in New Haven, Connecticut. Within just a few years, the company had licensed the setting up of telephone exchanges in every major city in the United States. These franchises together with the parent company became known as “The Bell System” (with a bell as the symbol of the system). By 1881, the parent company had bought a controlling interest in the manufacturing company, Western Electric, which was promptly turned into the monopoly supplier of equipment to the Bell System. A few years later, the American Telephone & Telegraph Company (AT&T) was set up as a subsidiary to establish the long-distance com- munications network. By 1885, AT&T had set up the first of these long-distance lines between New York and Philadelphia. The network then rapidly expanded to cover most of the United States as well as Canada and was run more or less as a monopoly by Theodore Vail, the then president of the company. There were in all 22 local operating companies, which later became popularly known as “Baby Bells.” In 1899, AT&T acquired all the assets of the parent company.
