  • T. Farnsworth, Inventor of Electronic Television
    By Henry W. Dickow Book One Part Four Philo (Phil) T. Farnsworth, Inventor of Electronic Television Transcribed by Bob Rydzewski, Deputy Archivist and History Fellow, CHRS 1 The story of his great invention and its impact on society. A personal friend of the author, his life story here is one of the most interesting in the book. Introduction Success of electronic television is due primarily to two inventors, Philo T. Farnsworth of San Francisco and Vladimir Y. Zworykin of Camden, New Jersey. Little has been written about Farnsworth aside from the technical press, yet his contributions to television are of monumental importance. His electron dissector and multiplier tubes were two of the forerunners of numerous others which eventually brought television into the homes of millions. Said his biographer George Everson, “The story of Philo Farnsworth who, through perseverance and unending research rose from an obscure farm boy with an idea to a famed inventor with a discovery that is enriching our living, contains all the elements of a Horatio Alger tale. But the story of Farnsworth is true. Moreover, it didn’t take place in the days of Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and other inventors—a period when America was “growing up” and when the vast field of science was first opening to historic discoveries. The story has occurred entirely during the twentieth century; it belongs to our generation. Farnsworth was a teen-aged youth when in 1922 he conceived his scientific idea for an all- electronic television system—the system that provided the basis for television in use today.

  • A National Tradition
    Baseball A National Tradition. by Phyllis McIntosh. “As American as baseball and apple pie” is a phrase Americans use to describe any ultimate symbol of life and culture in the United States. Baseball, long dubbed the national pastime, is such a symbol. It is first and foremost a beloved game played at some level in virtually every American town, on dusty sandlots and in gleaming billion-dollar stadiums. But it is also a cultural phenom- enon that has provided a host of colorful characters and cherished traditions. Most Americans can sing at least a few lines of the song “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” Generations of children have collected baseball cards with players’ pictures and statistics, the most valuable of which are now worth several million dollars. More than any other sport, baseball has reflected the best and worst of American society. Today, it also mirrors the nation’s increasing diversity, as countries that have embraced America’s favorite sport now send some of their best players to compete in the “big leagues” in the United States. Baseball is played on a Baseball’s Origins: after hitting a ball with a stick.
